Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.

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

The Team:

The APM Team at Datadog provides mission critical application health and performance monitoring for customers of all sizes and industries. We’re taking a new approach to APM with distributed tracing, profiling, dynamic instrumentation, and seamless integration with Datadog’s Infrastructure and Logs products.

• You’ll be collaborating with other libraries teams to have easy to plug and easy to use solutions for broader impact.
  
  

Who You Are:

• You have significant experience building and maintaining native libraries (C/C++/Rust) and interoperability with other languages
• You have good experience coding in Rust
• You’re attentive to details and can build software with very low defect rates. You appreciate simplicity as a tool to accomplish this.

• You want to work in a fast, high growth startup environment.
• Hands on experience in software design and leading refactoring initiatives to improve the architecture of complex software libraries.
