The Anomaly Detection team’s mission is to build scalable, cost effective systems that can automatically detect anomalies in our customers’ system telemetry. The ultimate goal is to be  able to intelligently find problems in system telemetry proactively without the need for our customers to set up or configure specific alarms or alerts. This is a chance to work on a team that sits at the intersection of distributed systems and machine learning and applying those techniques at massive scale to serve a real world customer need.

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.

What You’ll Do: 

• Lead and develop an existing engineering team of 8; building trust, setting technical direction, and establishing a high bar for ownership and execution
• Own the roadmap and execution for our key signal finding systems
• Work closely with product management and applied scientists to build an effective detection system and the right evaluation mechanisms to ensure the quality of our signals
• Build and operate both traditional machine learning and LLM based systems in production at scale
• Drive the team's AI-native development practices, setting high standards for safety, validation, and increasing agent autonomy over time
  
  

Who You Are: 

• Experienced engineering manager with a track record of shipping robust and scalable distributed systems with AI and/or ML components. Distributed systems experience is a must-have
• Experience with Java, Python or Go, and experience working in a platform-focused team
• Strong cross-team collaboration and stakeholder management skills
• Comfortable making significant contributions to product strategy in an ambiguous environment rather than executing a pre-defined roadmap
• Direct experience building and training ML models in production environments is a plus
• Familiarity utilizing streaming technology (e.g. Flink, Kafka) is a plus

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply. 

Benefits and Growth:

• New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
