The Timeseries Query team designs, builds and operates query languages, APIs and services that operate on observability timeseries data that reside in Datadog’s petabyte-scale storage systems - such as metrics, logs and application traces. These query languages constitute the main interface to the vast amount of timeseries data and serve live traffic of hundreds of thousands of queries per second with sub-second latencies, powering key Datadog product features such as Dashboards, Alerts, Notebooks and Graphs. We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead this team, reporting to the Engineering Director for Cross-Product Query.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

What You’ll Do:

• Manage a growing team of 5 engineers, including giving appropriate mentorship and coaching to help them grow.
• Help the team plan its work to execute on the quarterly goals
• Share on-call responsibilities with rest of the team and ensure a culture of operational excellence 
• Work closely with Product Management and Engineering Leadership to define the vision and roadmap for the team 
• Be technically involved with the team - reviewing architecture decisions or RFCs to make sure the team is making sound decisions and good processes are in place. You are also welcome to contribute directly though this is not a strict requirement.
• Be part of XPQ’s staff and be involved in org-wide initiatives - the role reports to Director of Engineering, Cross-Product Query

Who You Are: 

• Experience with distributed systems or database internals.
• Experience with or interest in analytics and big data processing engines 
• Experience working with observability data (metrics, logs, traces) or timeseries data (from IoT, Finance, etc)
• Experience operating a production system with high traffic
• Previous experience with query processing, planning and optimization (nice to have)

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We know not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That’s okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your experience, we encourage you to apply. 

Benefits & Growth:

• New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)

The reasonably estimated salary for this role at Datadog ranges from $187,000 - $240,000, plus a competitive equity package, and may include variable compensation. Actual compensation is based on factors such as the candidate’s skills, qualifications, and experience.
