[Hiring] Staff Engineer @Datadog
Apr 02, 2025 - Datadog is hiring a remote Staff Engineer. 💸 Salary: unspecified. 📍Location: Europe.
Role Description
The Datadog Agent is software that runs on customer infrastructure and supports a wide range of platforms. It collects observability data from hosts and sends them to Datadog, where our customer can analyze their monitoring and performance data.
The Agent Runtimes team’s mission is to develop and own architectures as well as building blocks of the Agent to ensure consistency, modularity, maintainability, scalability, and stability of the Agent as the number of teams and contributors grows while at the same time maintaining a “single Agent” user-facing experience.
- Design and implement the internal Agent libraries and frameworks that allow Agent teams to build their features with a simple and consistent user experience (logging, hostname resolution, health API, etc).
- Develop and maintain core functionality for the runtimes that the Agent uses (Go, Python, etc).
- Investigate, develop, and maintain core architectures that allow the Agent to be small, fast, and composable.
- Solve complex cross team projects/problems with multiple levels of stakeholders.
- Investigate and implement new approaches for reducing the Agent footprint and increasing overall performance.
- Lead and guide other engineers in their growth and development.
- Collaborate closely with partner teams that integrate and depend on the Agent to provide critical capabilities to their customers.
- Support the growth of the Agent adoption and featureset.

- You are able to bring best practices from across the world of software engineering and adapt them to the Agent.
- You are a strong communicator, especially on complex technical topics.
- You enjoy mentoring and coaching other engineers.
