Manager I, Engineering - Datadog Governance SRE

The Datadog Governance SRE Team is part of the Core Observability SRE group and the SRE / Security organization overall. Core Observability is a group focused on managing Datadog's internal observability tooling and practices, which includes using a variety of Datadog products. The group is focused on observability's adoption and efficiency throughout Datadog's organization, as it is a key aspect of an effective SRE approach for engineers to build and operate systems more effectively.

The Datadog Governance team identifies business needs to implement golden paths and guardrails in Datadog's configuration. They operate one of the largest accounts of Datadog for itself, having thousands of engineers and other business functions leveraging the products and configuring them actively. Their objective is to enable anyone at Datadog to do what they need to do most effectively to leverage the product value. One challenge is operating Datadog across all regions at once (customers only use one), and serving our dogfooding and testing needs while also ensuring our production setup has the required reliability and security posture.

As the Engineering Manager for the Datadog Governance SRE team you will lead and grow a team of talented engineers motivated to reduce risks and user friction from using Datadog internally at scale in a multi organisation environment. Collaboration is key in this role, needing to work closely with other security, engineering and product teams on aspects like authentication, authorization, and access management. This role and team has the opportunity to influence product development for our customers by learning from our internal observability needs. We aim to integrate the latest Datadog features, drive product innovation, and maintain operational excellence.
