Manager I, Engineering - Observability Pipelines

Observability Pipelines (OP) is Datadog's on-premise, vendor-agnostic telemetry pipeline product. As an Engineering Manager on the team, you'll own people management and engineering execution for one of OP's core missions, spanning areas like intelligence (a pipeline that decides on its own where every piece of data goes, and why), integrations (ingesting from and routing to the many source and destination systems customers rely on), streaming insights, cost control, or pipeline capabilities, reliability and scalability. You'll partner directly with Product to help shape the roadmap, and work closely with your peer EMs and senior ICs to define how OP operates and grows. This is an opportunity to build your management craft while having real influence over the technical direction of a fast-growing product area.

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: 

• Own people management and engineering execution for a team of 5 engineers
• Establish a strong operating rhythm for the team, and drive high standards for on-call rotations and incident response, reliability and release quality
• Partner closely with Product Management on the roadmap, balancing product priorities with technical realities
