About Us: AI needs a new infrastructure layer. We're building it at Modal. Every era of computing brought new workloads that previous infrastructure couldn't support: mainframes, databases, and the cloud. Each time, the company that rebuilt the layer underneath defined the decade. AI is no different, except it touches everything instead of one slice, and the window to build the layer underneath it is open right now. Our customers include category-defining companies like Lovable , Ramp , Cognition, DoorDash, and Suno. They rely on Modal for instant GPU access, sub-second container starts, and native storage, so it's simple to serve low-latency inference, fine-tune models, and access production-ready sandboxes at scale. We recently raised a $355M Series C at a $4.65B valuation, led by General Catalyst and Redpoint Ventures. We've crossed $300M+ ARR and grown fivefold since September. Our team includes creators of popular open-source projects (e.g., Seaborn , Luig i ), academic researchers, international olympiad medalists, and experienced engineering and product leaders with decades of experience. The Role: We’re looking for an Infrastructure Security Engineer to design and secure the core systems that power our platform. This role focuses on building security directly into our infrastructure—from container isolation and orchestration to identity and secrets management in a multi-tenant, cloud-native environment. You’ll work closely with engineering teams to define secure primitives and ensure our platform is resilient, scalable, and trustworthy by design. This is a hands-on, deeply technical role focused on real systems, not compliance or policy. What You'll Do: Platform & Runtime Security Design and improve isolation mechanisms for multi-tenant workloads (containers, sandboxing, execution environments) Strengthen boundaries between customers, workloads, and internal systems Identify and mitigate risks in distributed, dynamic compute environments Container &

Here at Datadog, we think about offensive security a little bit differently. We embrace automation and AI to run adversary simulations continuously across a massive cloud-native environment, and we expect our offensive engineers to build the tooling that makes that possible. We're looking for a Senior Security Engineer who can execute sophisticated red team operations, write the code that scales them, and take an AI-first approach to offensive security engineering. At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds, and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them. What You'll Do: Plan and execute red team engagements end-to-end, simulating real-world threat actors across cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and corporate environments Build and maintain custom offensive tooling, automation frameworks, and engagement infrastructure, treating offensive operations as a software engineering problem Develop custom payloads and evasion capabilities tailored to Datadog's environment and modern defensive controls (EDR, SIEM, network monitoring) Improve the efficiency of offensive operations through thoughtful use of automation and AI, accelerating reconnaissance, vulnerability analysis, and reporting workflows Partner with the Detection & Response team on purple team exercises to validate detection logic, improve alert fidelity, and influence threat models Translate offensive findings into concrete improvements by working directly with defensive security and engineering teams to close gaps Who You Are: You have 5+ years of hands-on experience in offensive security (red teaming, penetration testing, or adversary simulation) with a track record of operating against mature, well-defended environments You write production-quality code (Python, Go, or similar), can build your own tools, and automate your w
Senior Security Engineer, Vulnerability Management Here at Datadog, we think about vulnerability management a little differently. We embrace open source software, recognize our role in the software supply chain, and see attackers weaponizing vulnerabilities faster than ever. We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer who can combine vulnerability-management judgment with hands-on engineering to help us scale and improve our vulnerability lifecycle across Datadog’s multi-cloud products and services. In this role, you will turn ambiguous security problems into clear solutions, and work with engineering teams to address root causes and develop technical controls that reduce vulnerabilities earlier in the SDLC. You’ll use AI and automation to help scale the overall vulnerability lifecycle across Datadog. You will use data and sound technical judgment to prioritize risk, and partner with security, product, platform, and compliance teams to bring scalable solutions into practice. At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds, and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them. What You’ll Do Work across the vulnerability lifecycle from detection and impact assessment through risk-based prioritization, remediation, and verification. Use AI and automation to build tools, services, and workflows that make security ideas concrete, validate them quickly, and create alignment for scalable implementation. Reduce engineering toil through a “PRs, not tickets” approach, using automation to enrich findings, identify ownership, recommend or deliver fixes, and track outcomes. Analyze recurring vulnerabilities and remediation failures to identify root causes and opportunities to prevent issues earlier in the SDLC. Partner with SDLC Security, Product Security, platform teams, and engineering teams to balance technical constraints, busin
