Engineering Manager I - Product Analytics (Backend)

Product Analytics aims to help developers, product managers and designers understand their users, take data-oriented product decisions and evaluate the impact of technical issues on their customer base. As the Engineering Manager for the Product Analytics Backend team, you'll join a new, fast growing product area. You will support scaling the team, define our technical vision and help shape the product roadmap. Your team will lead the charge on multiple technical challenges: creating a robust and flexible query system to support innovative visualizations, ingest and enrich user journey data from multiple sources and tailor our product automatically to the user's setup.

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.
