Manager I, Engineering - Platform Trust & Safety

User safety and platform integrity is critical to our business. Our customer’s success is our success. We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to join us in taking a proactive, highly scalable, and data-centric approach to enabling a safe and trustworthy experience for the users of our rapidly growing and increasingly interactive platform. You’ll lead a team charged with protecting against threats to our users, platform abuse, and other potentially risky and unwanted behaviors on our platform.

Our team covers a broad range of trust and safety related topics from threat detection, security research, engineering, incident response, data science, user engagement, privacy, and bridging gaps between security and the broader Datadog business. You will bring expertise in a few of these areas.

You’ll manage a growing security team at an ideal time for making a big impact. The product is seeing very high growth, with the platform becoming more interactive and new products and features developed regularly.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds, and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

What You’ll Do

Guide and mentor a team of 4+ security and software engineers, emphasizing career development, inclusivity, and high performance.

Drive the technical roadmap in collaboration with your team, product management, and other engineering teams to align our work with company-wide security objectives.

Take a pragmatic, risk-based approach to complex technical problems and work with your team to produce well-defined and actionable plans.

Balance your time between management, and hands-on technical work.

Participate in Datadog’s incident response efforts.

Have a direct impact on users and the overall trust of our platform.

Who You Are

Fluent in one or more modern coding languages (Python, Go, JavaScript, etc.).

Familiar with product workflows, and building security into the user experience.

An excellent communicator and collaborator, able to work effectively through complex technical problems with a diverse group of stakeholders.
