Staff Engineer - Agent Runtimes

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. Ownership covers dynamic and static modularity as well as related Agent-as-a-platform components needed to support this vision. Datadog's Staff Engineers are our technical leaders operating at the forefront of technology, building solutions that take us through at least our next five years of growth. They do this in three major ways: As individual contributors, they bring world class technical abilities to deliver industry leading systems in areas such as data visualization, virtual runtime profiling, planet scale streaming, and others. As technical leaders they bring experienced technical breadth and communication skills to tackling design and architectural problems spanning the organization, charting the right course, then leading the delivery. In both roles, they participate in the staff engineering community and help us learn from what the industry is doing and what we've built before, and so improve company-wide standards around software and systems engineering. At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
