Director, Engineering - Digital Experience Monitoring

About the role

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 they’re looking for

Select a requirement to inspect fit, evidence or application context.

• You have directly managed Engineering Managers, not just individual contributors — this is a non-negotiable requirement for the role
• You integrate AI deeply into how you lead and how your teams build, treating AI-first thinking as core engineering practice rather than a feature bolted onto the product
• You have a track record of shaping product decisions, not just executing against a spec
• You've worked with large-scale, event-driven or data-intensive backend systems — ingestion pipelines, high-throughput APIs, or time-series/event data at scale
• You bring full-stack or frontend-adjacent experience; DEM is an SDK-heavy, browser- and mobile-facing product group
• You're comfortable operating in English in a cross-Atlantic org, and are based in Paris or open to relocating there (French is not required)

Benefits & working conditions

• New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
• Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing
• Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking
• An inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (Datadog employee resource groups)
• Access to Inclusion Talks, our internal panel discussions
• Free, global mental health benefits for employees and dependents age 6+
• Competitive global benefits
• Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.
