Datadog is seeking an experienced Staff Engineer to join our App Platform team. The team is responsible for foundational services that support the App Builder and Workflow Automation products. Today, those services power a catalog of 500+ out-of-the-box actions used to manage queues, jobs or deployments, list or page on-call engineers, scale up container clusters, block IP addresses, and much more.
We're looking to evolve this platform by building capabilities to unlock new use-cases for App Builder, Workflow Automation, and other Datadog products. As a Staff Engineer for the App Platform, you will work with a team of designers, product managers and engineers to introduce the newest platform service: easily store and manage data for apps and workflows.
We are looking for a Staff Engineer that is technical and can go deep to build the right storage solution to enable our customers, but at the same time is focused on the end-to-end user experience. You should be comfortable leading a new effort, understanding our customer needs, and designing a system that can meet customer needs and be performant at scale.
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:
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and develop a new platform service for easy data storage and management
Drive high-priority, high-visibility projects that enhance the platform's scalability and resilience
Lead architectural decisions for new and existing distributed, high-throughput, real-time systems
Identify potential system risks and design solutions to address them
Contribute to short- and long-term planning and roadmap development
Who You Are:
You have several years of experience leading cross-team initiatives in a platform or infrastructure-focused environment
You have a deep understanding of relational and document-based database systems
You are passionate about performance and efficiency optimization
You have significant back-end programming experience and have architected, built, and operated distributed systems to solve problems at high scale
You possess a deep understanding of the day-to-day responsibilities of an engineer and have a strong technical background
You have excellent verbal and written communication skills and are comfortable presenting and defending your ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences
You have a BS/MS/PhD in a Computer Science, Engineering or related scientific field or equivalent experience
