Manager I, Engineering

The core analytics team is responsible for the delivery of analytics, data products and insights across the whole of Datadog. We support business functions such as Go to market, strategy, customers success, community, product management and engineering organisation.

The dataset & governance team is responsible for the creation and governance of core datasets used throughout the business for product and non product use cases. As an engineering manager for datasets & governance, you will support building and scaling a team, define the technical vision for ETL, automation and governance mechanisms (data deletion, data retention, audit) and help shape the roadmap. Your team will lead the charge on multiple critical challenges such as access to data, data compliance and data ownership.

You'll work closely with sister teams in the Core Analytics organization ensuring that the data needs are met. You'll also partner with other organizations such as DNA platform and AI platform to support cross organisation initiatives (feature stores, model evaluation and data pipelines.)

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.

• Manage and grow the dataset & governance team, directly managing 3-5 engineers
• Define our technical roadmap in alignment with Core Analytics goals and roadmap.
• Work with our DNA platform teams to tailor Datadog's tooling and platform to our needs
• Create a strong team culture aligned with our engineering standards and our customer focus
