Job Description
The Fabric Gateways team is responsible for building and maintaining a suite of managed proxy fleets that allow developers to focus on building and improving products and services, without being networking experts. We enable Datadog engineers to expose their services to both internal and external customers in a secure, reliable and scalable way without worrying about network interactions in distributed systems. As our infrastructure grows, our team has also grown significantly and we need a great manager who can help accompany the growth of this young team. If you want to be part of this exciting journey of Datadog in the networking space, this is the best place to be in! As the Engineering Manager of the Fabric Gateways team, you will manage a team of 5+ software and system engineers, and will work closely with the team and your counterparts from the other infrastructure and platform teams to ensure the availability and scalability of Datadog’s most critical systems. What You’ll Do: Lead and cultivate a team of engineers with a diverse skill-set, including performance management and career development. Identify the highest impact initiatives and ensure that the team is focused on delivering those on clear timelines. Lead your team’s roadmap by defining inspiring objectives and breaking them down into well-defined key results. Ensure that the services you own have accurate SLIs and are constantly available at well-defined SLOs. Contribute to the team’s technical direction and architectural decisions. Stay in touch with your team’s code, and roll up your sleeves when needed to unblock your team by writing code or troubleshooting issues. Who You Are: You have managed a team of software engineers delivering large-scale infrastructure projects. You have backend programming experience (e.g. C++, Go, Rust) and have architected, built, and operated distributed systems to solve problems at scale. You have a solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, TLS, HTTP, DNS) as well as experience in troubleshooting Linux and network performance. You have a BS/MS/PhD in a Computer Science, Engineering or related scientific field or equivalent professional experience. Datadog values people from all walks of life. We know 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 experience, we encourage you to apply. Benefits and Growth: Product training to develop an in-depth understanding of our product and space. Continuous career development and pathing opportunities for internal mobility. Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking. An inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (Datadog employee resource groups). New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan. Free global mental health benefit through Spring Health. Generous global benefits. Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog. #J-18808-Ljbffr
