Job Description

Hybrid

We’re looking for a talented Senior Software Engineer to help us secure, scale, and innovate our Action Platform. This platform powers integrations with third-party systems for various products, including Workflow Automation, App Builder, and more. These actions range from sending a Slack message or updating an AWS S3 bucket to deleting a Kubernetes pod. We also support Private Actions, which run on customer infrastructure via a Go runner, while Cloud Actions are handled by TypeScript Actions.

In this role, you’ll collaborate across two key teams:

  • API Team: Focused on the orchestration and scaling of our infrastructure and cloud services with an emphasis on security posture and threat mitigation.
  • Runtime Team: Dedicated to the development and lifecycle of our action platform runners, enhancing the Action Developer Experience, supporting UI components delivered to clients, and ensuring secure execution environments.

We’re seeking someone with a passion for secure, scalable solutions and a strong interest in working on impactful systems that are critical to both our customers and Datadog.

At Datadog, we value our office culture for the relationships, collaboration, and creativity it fosters. As a hybrid workplace, we enable our team members to create a work-life harmony that works best for them.

 

What You’ll Do:

  • Contribute to high-priority, high-visibility projects to increase the platform's resilience and scalability.
  • Collaborate with team members and partners to make architectural decisions for distributed, high-throughput, real-time systems.
  • Identify and address potential risks and trends in reliability.
  • Drive the development of secure, scalable systems for both cloud and on-premise solutions.
  • Partner closely with other teams and platforms that integrate with the Action Platform to deliver critical capabilities to customers.

 

Who You Are:

  • You have experience leading impactful initiatives in a platform or infrastructure-focused environment.
  • You are passionate about optimizing performance and efficiency in large-scale systems.
  • You have hands-on experience building and operating distributed systems and understand the complexities of high-scale architectures.
  • You have a strong reliability-oriented mindset and care deeply about resilient systems.
  • You are proficient in backend programming and have contributed to the development of secure, scalable software.

Datadog values people from all walks of life. If you’re passionate about technology and eager to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply, even if you don’t meet all the qualifications listed above.

 

Benefits and Growth:

  • New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP).
  • Continuous professional development, product training, and career growth opportunities.
  • Intradepartmental mentor and buddy programs for networking and support.
  • An inclusive company culture with opportunities to join our Community Guilds (Datadog employee resource groups).
  • Access to Inclusion Talks, internal panel discussions, and free global mental health benefits for employees and dependents (age 6+).
