Manager I, Event Platform - Storage - Ingestion

Our Event Platform ingests, transforms and stores events to power more than 30 Datadog products. The Storage team within the Event Platform built and owns Husky, a distributed, time-series oriented, columnar store optimized for streaming ingestion and hybrid analytical and search queries. Husky’s technology decouples storage and compute, enabling teams to store and query massive volumes of logs for long periods of time at very low costs.

The Event Platform Storage Ingestion team manages all aspects of the data written to Husky – from timely, reliable, and exactly-once indexing of over 100MM messages per second to usage metering, cost attribution, and finally expiration of tens of petabytes of stored data. As the Engineering Manager of the team you will be responsible for the growth and success of the software engineering team as you lead them through the development of new capabilities and the next set of scalability changes encountered by our ever-growing platform.

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.
