Engineering Manager II - APM DCS Platform Delivery

Datadog's APM Platform builds the foundations that let our dd-trace library engineers ship reliable, high-performance instrumentation across 15+ products used inside our customers' applications. As the Engineering Manager for our Developer Experience, Performance, and Release teams, your goals will be to help hundreds of engineers ship high-quality code faster and with confidence. You'll own the tooling and platforms that keep our development loop fast, prevent performance regressions before release, and gate customer-impacting issues through gradual rollouts and customer-simulation environments while continuously innovating. This is a high-leverage leadership role for someone who wants to grow their scope across multiple technical domains while making a measurable, company-wide impact on engineering productivity and product quality.

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.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead, coach, and grow the careers of engineers across three teams.
• Set the vision and roadmap for developer productivity; Drive our performance engineering practice and own the release experience.
• Partner with product, infrastructure, and internal CI teams across Datadog to understand how they build software and continuously increase the efficiency of our workflows.
• Scale and evolve fault-tolerant, tier-0 CI and CD  systems to support growth into new and more complex environments.
  
  

Who You Are:

• An experienced people manager who invests in career growth, mentoring, and building healthy, high-trust teams.
• Currently managing multiple engineering teams, including through engineering managers.
• A strong project-delivery leader with a track record of roadmap planning and shipping in collaboration with partner teams.
• Skilled in system design, with the ability to set and raise the technical bar for reliable, high-scale systems, challenging complexity and ensuring the team delivers highest value for the investment.
• Experience leading internal tooling, DevX, or platform teams.
• You thrive partnering across many stakeholders, internal customers, platform providers, and sister teams.
• Bonus: experience with internal tooling or developer-productivity teams, continuous integration/delivery systems, benchmarking, or AWS.
