We partner with engineering on solving deeply technical problems at scale by connecting the people, decisions, and context to move Datadog's most important work forward.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="618" data-local-id="4f22ff3c2bef"><br>We build the systems and automation that make entire classes of program work self-executing. We are in the architecture conversation early, earning trust through technical judgment. We use AI to surface risks earlier, accelerate program execution plans, and find cross-team patterns that would otherwise stay hidden. The faster teams move, the more essential it is to have someone who can operate across them.<br><br><em><br>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.</em></p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="1029" data-local-id="dfedac99ed31"><br><strong>What We Expect:<br></strong><br><em><strong>These are the expectations we hold for every <span class="acronym-highlight">TPM</span> at Datadog.</strong></em></p> <ul class="ak-ul" data-local-id="903aa285f378" data-indent-level="1"> <li> <p data-renderer-start-pos="1108" data-local-id="cb7396458df5">Technical depth, product domain expertise, and AI systems literacy; knowing how AI solutions work, where they fail, and the scope and impact of those failures.
