Manager I, Engineering - Fleet Automation

We are on a mission to empower SRE and Observability teams to centrally govern Datadog. We give teams the ability to enforce configuration standards, and ensure observability consistency across their environments.

You’ll expand this nascent platform to new use cases and new environments, including container orchestration platform or OpenTelemetry.

We’re looking for a hands-on technical leader to guide a growing team of engineers through an ambitious product and technical roadmap. This high-impact role will play a key part in shaping product direction, design, and engineering decisions.

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: 

• Lead a team of Engineers and work with Product and Engineering partners across Datadog to define and deliver an industry leading observability experience
• Lead the team roadmap, staffing, and culture. Help engineers grow their impact and career.

• Experience in a full stack environment, comfortable working across various stacks, languages, and environments
• Ability to manage team dynamics, set goals, provide feedback, and foster a positive and productive work environment
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across teams and functions
