Manager I, Engineering - Experiments

About the role

We are the Experimentation team at Datadog, a startup operating inside one of the fastest-growing companies in software. The team brings together engineers who joined through Datadog’s May 2025 acquisition of Eppo with engineers from across Datadog, and together we are building feature flagging and experimentation into the platform. Both products were recently launched this year, and we are just getting started: we are migrating customers from Eppo onto Datadog while shipping an ambitious roadmap across both flagging and experimentation. Our statistics engineers hold PhDs and are pushing the boundaries of what an experimentation platform can do.
