Software Engineer - API Reliability

Today Datadog runs in multiple datacenters, with hundreds of engineers contributing to our APIs. As we continue to grow we have found challenges specific to the tooling our teams use to develop on our API’s. Additionally, this team needs to build reliable tooling to enable developers to easily depend on a uniform set of tooling that can also give them accurate observability into their APIs.

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: 

• Provide internal tooling and frameworks that empower teams to develop, maintain and manage web-facing applications
• Codify proven practices to improve developer experience and service reliability
• Explore new ways to strengthen, automate, deploy and manage our web facing infrastructure
• Define the future of our API platform and supporting infrastructure
• Enable engineering teams to self-service, self-report day-to-day operations dealing with web-facing applications
  

Who You Are: 

• You have at least 5 years of experience with distributed web applications and running 24/7 production environments
