Staff Engineer - Agent Supply Chain

The Datadog Agent is software that runs on customer infrastructure and supports a wide range of platforms. It collects observability data from hosts and sends them to Datadog, where our customer can analyze their monitoring and performance data. As a Staff Engineer you will enable the entire Agent Organization of 100+ engineers to develop and deliver high quality Datadog Agent releases by improving our CI platform, tooling, processes and coding throughout.

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.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and drive high priority, high visibility projects that increase the Agent supply chain’s security, resilience and scalability across multiple teams
• Identify potential system risks and trends in security or reliability, design and implement solutions to address them
• Collaborate closely with partner teams that integrate and depend on the Agent to provide critical capabilities to their customers
• Support the growth of the Agent, welcoming new products and new engineering teams, providing the best platform to develop, test, build and release the Agent
• Lead and guide other engineers around you through architectural decisions
• Provide input on prioritizing engineering-led initiatives in short- and long-term planning as well as contribute to both the product and engineering roadmaps
  
  

Who You Are:

• You have led large cross-team initiatives in an environment where security, speed, and reliability are first-order concerns
• You have hands-on experience with supply chain related projects, such as CI systems, release management tooling and Linux/macOS/Windows packaging
• You are able to bring best practices from across the world of software engineering and adapt them to the Agent
• You enjoy mentoring and coaching other engineers to become more complete
