As Engineering Manager for Threat Detection, you will lead a high-performing team that powers Datadog's detection program. Threat Detection is the organization responsible for keeping Datadog ahead of an evolving threat environment: closing coverage gaps faster, raising the bar on signal quality, and shipping detections that hold up under the scale and complexity of cloud-native infrastructure. Your team will combine direct detection expertise, platform engineering, and applied AI to ship detections at a pace and scale traditional rule-writing alone cannot match. Examples of what your team will work on include detection-authoring agents, the detection platform that powers every rule in production, coverage analysis, alert triage and response automation, and the evaluation infrastructure that holds these systems to a high bar of fidelity. Detection authorship is a shared responsibility across the organization, and your team will contribute both by building the systems that scale our authoring capacity and by writing detections directly when their domain expertise is the right tool. You will partner closely with our Security Incident & Response Team (SIRT), Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), AI Engineering teams, and Datadog's broader Security organization. This is a high-impact leadership role: you will grow a team of security and software engineers responsible for building and executing our detection and AI strategy. 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: Lead the strategy, roadmap, and execution of Datadog Security's shift to AI-accelerated detection and response. Drive development of high-fidelity detections as a shared responsibility across the organization, ensuring your team's systems and direct contributions raise the bar on coverage and

As the Engineering Manager for Commercial Audit, you will lead a high-performing team responsible for scaling Datadog’s security and compliance posture through automation, tooling, and engineering excellence. Our GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) function is a critical partner to the broader Security and Engineering organizations, ensuring that Datadog not only meets rigorous global regulatory standards but does so in a way that is efficient, scalable, and integrated into our cloud-native infrastructure. You will manage a team of engineers and analysts who are transitioning to a GRC engineering direction to treat compliance as a software problem, leveraging AI, custom tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native services to turn complex regulatory requirements into actionable, automated controls. You will lead the strategy, roadmap, and execution of Datadog’s Commercial Audit initiatives. This is a high-impact leadership role where you will grow a team of engineers and analysts responsible for directly maintaining our compliance programs and related audits (e.g., SOC2, PCI, HIPAA, ISO) while looking to improve efficiency and effectiveness through platforms and tooling. You will act as a bridge between technical engineering, legal, and compliance, enabling the organization to move fast while maintaining a secure and compliant environment. You will champion a culture of "compliance-as-code," identifying opportunities to automate evidence collection, streamline control testing, and reduce manual toil for both your team and our partner engineering teams. 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.

You will lead a small, hands-on engineering team building the secure, scalable Core Analytics Data Access Platform that accelerates Datadog’s Applied AI and analytics capabilities. The team owns the Data Access Platform — a unified interface that lets AI and analytics teams discover and self-serve production-ready datasets while abstracting underlying systems and embedding required legal and compliance guardrails. In this role you’ll own technical direction, contribute to design and code, and partner closely with Applied AI, Product Analytics, and internal platform teams to provide reliable datasets and APIs for model training and analysis. This role balances day-to-day engineering leadership with long-term platform planning. 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: Lead a Hands-On Engineering Team: Manage, mentor, and grow a small team of 2–4 data engineers (mix of senior and junior) across Paris and NYC, fostering technical excellence and career development. Own Technical Direction and Delivery: Define architecture, engineering priorities, and the team roadmap for the Data Access Platform, driving implementation of scalable, secure data pipelines and platform services. Contribute to Design and Code: Spend substantial time coding, reviewing, and shipping critical platform components to ensure performance, reliability, and operational excellence. Partner with Internal Stakeholders: Work closely with Applied AI, Internal Product Analytics, product managers, and platform teams to define data contracts, APIs, SLAs, observability, and curated analytical datasets. Ensure Data Security, Governance, and Reliability: Implement access controls, lineage, monitoring, and compliance guardrails to support safe model training and repeatable analytics workflows.

You will drive product evaluations, prepare and manage technical architecture discussions with target groups in Product and Engineering and provide roadmap suggestions for M&A and investments for Datadog. You will be a key partner to Datadog’s C-level leadership and highly visible at the most senior levels of Datadog. The role is reporting into the Senior Director of Product Strategy and falls within the Product organization. We are looking for an innovative and strategic thinker who is passionate about the latest tech being developed by startups in the cloud, AI and security space. The ideal candidate enjoys researching and evaluating new technologies, works effectively with cross-functional teams, and communicates opinions concisely to our leadership team. Broad understanding of relevant Cloud Technologies and deep understanding of the full coverage of Datadogs current offerings is necessary.
