About 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—trillions of data points per day—providing always-on alerting, metrics visualization, logs, and application tracing for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way. The Opportunity: Datadog’s Senior Staff Engineers are technical leaders operating at the forefront of large-scale systems design, building the infrastructure that will support our next five years of growth and beyond. They do this in three major ways: As individual contributors, they bring world-class technical depth to build industry-leading systems in areas such as observability data platforms, distributed query engines, and real-time event streaming at global scale. As technical leaders, they apply broad architectural perspective and deep systems thinking to align design decisions across teams and domains. They work across complex, multi-team problem spaces to define long-term technical direction, drive large-scale initiatives forward, and ensure consistent execution. As engineering stewards, they play a key role in evolving our systems and engineering culture. They actively participate in Datadog’s senior technical community, bringing external insights and internal experience to elevate engineering standards and mentor the next generation of technical leaders. Examples of projects a Senior Staff Engineer may lead include designing and launching a new distributed data storage engine capable of handling hundreds of millions of records per second, building the real-time infrastructure behind a new observability product, or re-architecting a core service to support exponential growth in throughput and complexity. What You’ll Do: Be the technical owner of multiple critical systems or architecture areas, often spanning several teams or product lines. Drive the design and delivery of high-scale, high-impact projects, from vision to execution in production. Build consensus and alignment across stakeholders on key architectural decisions and long-term strategy. Deeply investigate and optimize performance, reliability, and efficiency in large-scale distributed systems. Collaborate with Staff Engineers, Directors, and VPs across the company to shape Datadog’s technical roadmap. Guide teams through ambiguity, scaling challenges, and evolving requirements with clear technical direction. Actively mentor engineers and influence engineering culture through leadership in design reviews, technical talks, and working groups. Who You Are: You have a BS/MS/PhD in a scientific field or equivalent practical experience. You have 10+ years of backend, infrastructure, or distributed systems engineering experience. You have 4+ years of experience leading complex technical initiatives and cross-team projects. You have designed and delivered systems that are deeply technical, highly reliable, and serve critical business needs. You can navigate and make progress in ambiguous problem spaces, identifying the right problems to solve. You have exceptional communication skills, with the ability to align diverse stakeholders around a shared technical vision. You have deep expertise in one or more core systems domains—such as distributed storage, event streaming, networking, data infrastructure, or large-scale observability—and broad awareness of adjacent areas. You care about getting things right, not just getting them done, and you raise the bar for engineering quality around you. You have demonstrated ability to use AI coding tools in day-to-day workflows and validate, critique, and refine AI-generated output Bonus: You’re motivated to push the boundaries of how AI can improve software engineering best practices and contribute to building AI-enabled products Datadog values people from all walks of life.

As a Staff Application Security Engineer at Datadog, you'll set technical direction for how we approach application security at scale. You'll define the frameworks, methodologies, and architectural patterns that engineering teams across Datadog adopt and apply independently. You're the person others come to when they don't know how to make something secure, and you reliably have an answer. You'll be a point of contact for our most complex security programs, often spanning multiple teams and multiple quarters. The role requires both depth (going very deep on specific problems when needed) and breadth (recognizing patterns across systems and drawing connections that others miss). Partnering closely with teams inside and outside the security org is key to success. You'll help shape the AppSec roadmap and make the case for where investment should go. We use our own platform. Logs, Dashboards, Service Catalog, and APM aren't just things we sell: they're tools the AppSec team uses to build security services, measure adoption of secure defaults, and communicate risk across the organization. AI is also part of the picture. Engineering at Datadog increasingly uses agentic tooling throughout the development lifecycle, and many of the products we ship to customers now include AI-powered features. Both create new attack surfaces, and defining our strategy for addressing them is part of this role. If using Datadog to observe Datadog's own security posture, building impactful tooling, and shaping how we secure AI-powered systems sounds like the right kind of problem, this role is worth a close look. What You’ll Do: Define and drive security standards and secure-by-default solutions, serving as the Application Security subject matter expert. Build security tooling and automation that scales security practices across engineering teams, and implement robust security observability to support our threat detection team with meaningful, actionable security signals. Lead threat modeling and risk assessment for high-risk features and platform changes. Assess and address security risks introduced by agentic development practices and AI-powered product features in production Partner with engineering teams to prioritize and remediate critical threats, define API security standards, and conduct security code reviews. Identify systemic security risks; lead complex, multi-team remediation efforts end-to-end Partner with Cloud & Infrastructure Security and other teams across the org on cross-domain problems; be the AppSec point of contact on complex cross-domain problems Serve as the AppSec subject matter expert across Datadog; be the person engineering leadership calls when they need clarity on a hard security problem Deeply invest in the growth of AppSec engineers on the team Who You Are: Software engineering background with hands-on code review experience; Go (preferred), Python, or Rust Demonstrated ability to level up the engineers around you: through design reviews, mentorship, and the quality of your documentation Solid grounding in OWASP Top 10, web vulnerabilities ( XSS , injection, access control, cryptography), SAST , and DAST Working knowledge of API security: authentication flows, authorization patterns, and input validation at API boundaries Track record of leading threat modeling on complex, multi-team systems and translating outcomes into architectural decisions Experience implementing secure-by-default frameworks and integrating security into core platforms alongside product managers and engineering teams Able to translate business risk into security investment priorities and communicate tradeoffs clearly to executive audiences Familiarity with software supply chain security: dependency management, artifact integrity, and build pipeline trust Bias toward implementing solutions and driving adoption, not just surfacing findings Proven track record of winning buy-in from technical and non-technical stakeholders; able to communicate complex tradeoffs clearly to engineers, product managers, and leadership Current on security best practices, emerging threats, and the tooling landscape 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.
