About Datadog
We're on a mission to build the best observability platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams. We operate at high scale—trillions of data points per day—providing always-on alerting, metrics visualization, logs, and application tracing for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.
The Opportunity
As a Staff Engineer on the New Workloads team, you will facilitate new product offerings by identifying opportunities, researching technologies, and bootstrapping initiatives. We are looking for someone who stays in touch with industry trends and demonstrates the ability to conduct deep research in novel areas. Additionally, you will need to execute quickly and efficiently on greenfield work while enhancing the effectiveness of your teammates.
This role is for a product-oriented engineer who can go beyond prototypes and take products from 1 to N, scaling our offerings to meet customer needs. Existing initiatives include GPU monitoring and granular monitoring for S3 buckets, with a deep product backlog of opportunities to explore, such as high-performance computing and infrastructure as code.
Responsibilities
- Help research, design, and prototype product initiatives in new markets for Datadog and evaluate their opportunities
- Build, launch and operate products that have significant revenue potential for Datadog such as GPU Monitoring
- Act as a force multiplier for product development across the stack
- Collaborate with engineers and product managers across Datadog to build features that exceed our customers’ expectations across the product suite.
Job Requirements

- You have a BS/MS/PhD in a scientific field or equivalent experience
- 10+ years of relevant engineering experience

- You have a product delivery oriented mindset and strong customer empathy
- You have led the design and delivery of industry-leading systems
Additional commentary
