Manager I, Engineering

What You’ll Do:

Lead a polyglot team of 8-9 engineers and partner closely with Product and Engineering teams across Datadog to deliver industry-leading serverless capabilities that power consistent, scalable, and intuitive instrumentation across languages.
Drive a domain that is technically rich: Lambda, Azure Functions, GCP, OTel billing, Rust, durable functions, distributed tracing across managed services. Engineers on this team work across languages, clouds, and deployment models — and the problems they solve are genuinely hard.
Partner with the product manager to shape the strategy and execution for our 3 main clouds – AWS, Azure and GCP, in addition to being at the cutting edge of new managed platforms and how we can bring distributed tracing to them.
