About the Role
As an Engineering Manager II at Datadog, you will own a significant portion of the Logs business, one of Datadog's largest and most strategic products. You will drive execution across a ~30-person engineering organization at an exciting moment of product evolution where AI is pushing us to rethink how we handle observability data. This is a high-scope role for someone energized by hard problems, eager to grow at the intersection of business and engineering excellence, and driven to build a product that radically transforms how engineering teams operate.
Responsibilities
- Own the success of the Logs business for your scope — co-define the Logs technical roadmap and product vision with Product, Design, and peer leadership.
- Blend an understanding of customers, markets, and revenue drivers with deep engineering rigor to deliver our core vision.
- Act as a key collaborator across Datadog, building strong partnerships with platform and infrastructure teams to ensure a highly reliable, scalable and performant product.
- Invest in the next generation of engineering leaders — growing your managers, expanding their impact, and building a high-performing engineering organization where people continuously develop and thrive.
- Foster a culture of ambition and resilience — where people lean into hard problems, iterate rapidly, and hold themselves to a high collective standard.
- Build an inclusive environment focused on fostering top-tier talent, ensuring that diverse perspectives are leveraged to build the best possible solution.
- Manage the complexity of a large organization — anticipating risks, resolving friction, and keeping teams focused on what matters to our customers.
Requirements
- Results-driven and decisive — you work hard to cut through ambiguity and consistently create the conditions for the people around you to do their best work.
- A business owner at heart — you think in markets, customers, and revenue, and you bring Product, Design, and Engineering together around a shared vision.
- Energized by hard problems and driven to keep growing — you seek out challenges, learn from them, and bring others along with your curiosity and forward-thinking approach.
- Passionate about developing people — you've grown leaders before, and you're known for creating opportunities for others to step up and expand their impact.
- Technically curious and continuously learning — you have the engineering foundation to earn trust, and the humility to keep deepening your understanding.
