Engineering Manager I - APM Reliability

Datadog's APM team is building a world-class tracing product that helps developers see inside complex distributed systems. We're building rock solid libraries to trace requests as they flow across servers, databases, caches and microservices in all the major languages. We're investing heavily in systems to process a massive firehose of data - fast data pipelines, scalable storage systems and a slick UI to tie it all together. 

The Reliability team supports over 100 Datadog library engineers by providing the tools to test and package secure, high-quality code for all our supported languages. Our success is determined by the productivity and happiness of the library engineers who use our tools daily, as well as the overall quality and consistency of our libraries.

You will be responsible for the development of our cross language testing solutions and will lead the redesign of our library distribution process.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships that it builds, the creativity it brings to the table, and the collaboration of being together. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

What You’ll Do: 

• Manage and grow a team of 4 engineers 

• Partner with library teams to define and prioritize valuable features that enable comprehensive testing of complex features, ensuring the reliability and performance of Datadog libraries.

• Write and review design documents and code, while researching new build and testing strategies to deliver optimal solutions to customers

• Foster a strong team culture that aligns with our engineering standards and customer-centric approach

• Drive the required changes in tooling, workflows, and culture to maximize velocity and happiness of the library engineers.

Who You Are: 

• A manager by choice. Our passionate engineers deserve a passionate manager.

• A well-rounded engineer. You must broadly understand the software projects that are built, tested, and packaged with our tools and how they interact with customer applications and other components.

• A clear and empathetic communicator. Datadog engineering teams are relying on what our team is building. You must value their diverse opinions, and synthesize plans from them.

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.
