Role Overview You’re a seasoned Site Reliability Engineer who loves owning complex infrastructure, making things run faster, safer, and with less manual effort. In this Staff‑level role, you’ll design and operate VMware‑based private cloud platforms that power mission‑critical SaaS products used by customers around the world. You’ll work across Linux, Windows Server, networking, storage, and automation frameworks to increase reliability, reduce toil, and modernize a global datacenter environment. You’ll have the scope to set technical direction, build automation at scale, and mentor engineers while staying hands‑on with VMware vSphere, F5/AVI load balancers, and hybrid Active Directory. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important stuff) Lead the architecture, deployment, and ongoing optimization of VMware vSphere–based private cloud infrastructure across multiple global datacenters. Design and build automation using PowerShell/PowerCLI, Ansible, Python, and CI/CD tools to streamline provisioning, configuration, and compliance. Administer, harden, and troubleshoot Linux (RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu) and Windows Server environments that host enterprise and SaaS workloads. Integrate and manage Active Directory for authentication, access control, and service accounts across hybrid on‑prem and cloud environments. Partner with network and security teams to manage firewalls, VPNs, storage, and load balancers (F5 BIG‑IP, AVI/NSX Advanced Load Balancer) for highly available services. Document architectures and runbooks, participate in on‑call and change management, and mentor engineers while influencing long‑term reliability and automation strategy. These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview 10+ years of experience in systems or infrastructure engineering, including operating large‑scale enterprise or SaaS datacenter environments. Deep hands‑on expertise with VMware vSphere (ESXi, vCenter, DRS, HA, vMotion, distributed switches) in production

At Datadog, we're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams. We operate at high scale, enabling seamless collaboration and problem-solving among Dev, Ops, and Security teams globally for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way. Feature flags used to be simple on/off switches. That's changing fast. Flags are becoming a control plane: they're tied to observability, they drive rollout decisions, and AI agents build and run more of this work every day. Datadog is building the platform for that future, and we are now expanding our Feature Flagging & Experimentation product to pair flag decisions directly with observability signals and to modernize the flagging workflow for an SDLC increasingly run by agents. As a Senior Product Manager for Feature Flagging, you will own product strategy and drive execution across flags-plus-observability integration and agentic-era flagging workflows. You will set direction for a critical area of the roadmap, work closely with the observability, RUM, and APM teams, and report directly to the Director of Product leading this team. You'll be relied on to make sound, independent product judgment calls with limited oversight, bring engineering credibility to every decision, and drive B2B go-to-market strategy alongside sales. At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. This role is based in New York City and works from our office 3 days a week to support that collaboration. What you will Do: Find every place where a flag decision and an observability signal should talk to each other - rollout gating, anomaly-triggered rollback, experiment diagnostics - and ship a roadmap that unlocks observability and experimentation differentiators in Datadog Feature Flags

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.
