Observability Pipelines (OP) is Datadog's on-premise, vendor-agnostic telemetry pipeline product. As an Engineering Manager on the team, you'll own people management and engineering execution for one of OP's core missions, spanning areas like Integrations (ingesting from and routing to the many source and destination systems customers rely on), streaming insights, cost control, or pipeline capabilities, reliability and scalability. You'll partner directly with Product to help shape the roadmap, and work closely with your peer EMs and senior ICs to define how OP operates and grows. This is an opportunity to build your management craft while having real influence over the technical direction of a fast-growing product area.
At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships that it builds, the creativity it brings to the table, and the collaboration of being together. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
