About the role

As a Cloud Security Engineer you will partner with different stakeholders across the organization to secure our cloud infrastructure. As part of the Platform Security organization we secure the building blocks of Datadog’s applications and infrastructure. We do this by building solutions to solve systemic risks and combine an approach of making the secure path easier and the insecure path harder to secure and accelerate the business.  We regularly partner with the most bleeding edge internal products and are working to solve and build solutions to enable our safe usage of AI. We also develop AI based solutions to enable security at scale. We are looking for a Service Mesh and Kubernetes focused security specialist to help round out an incredibly strong infrastructure security focused group. You will rotate through a variety of internal projects and gain deep exposure to Datadog’s infrastructure. 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.
