We are a team of engineers that translate our real-world experience to help our user communities solve problems. With a focus on AI-accelerated workflows and next-generation developer ecosystems, you will have the opportunity to meet fast-moving teams where they are, helping them lay strong engineering foundations and broadening your impact to the developer community at large. This is a unique opportunity to use both your engineering depth and authentic storytelling skills to shape how the next wave of builders approach software health, scalability, and observability. What You’ll Do: Help developers hone their craft in an AI-accelerated world by exploring how AI coding assistants and rapid-prototyping tools change software workflows, and guiding teams on how to balance rapid prototyping with established engineering practices around performance, code health, and system reliability. Build in public by creating authentic, peer-to-peer technical content, sharing your engineering insights directly where modern developers collaborate in person and online. Drive a constructive, bidirectional feedback loop between fast-moving developer communities and our internal teams, translating real-world developer experiences into actionable product insights to shape our roadmap while advocating for user needs from the inside. Design and ship high-quality open-source boilerplate templates, quickstarts, and tools that make integrating observability seamless across AI native workflows, next-gen platforms (Vercel, Supabase, etc.), and cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure). Who You Are: A builder with approximately 10+ years of software engineering experience, ideally having shipped applications from scratch or worked within an early-stage startup environment where you've worn multiple hats. An AI-fluent developer who natively leverages AI coding assistants and rapid-prototyping tools as a core part of your regular, day-to-day development workflow. Multi-stack familiar, comfortable writing and debugging code across multiple programming languages (such as JavaScript/TypeScript or Python) and experienced with deployment paradigms spanning next-gen platforms and traditional cloud ecosystems. An authentic communicator with approximately 3+ years of experience in technical storytelling and community engagement, backed by a publicly available portfolio of peer-to-peer artifacts like GitHub repositories, technical blogs, video walkthroughs, or public speaking presentations. A forward thinker who loves self-driven exploration of emerging technologies, and is deeply passionate about developer education, mentorship, and helping other engineers hone their craft. Bonus points: Active community presence or leadership: You are an active participant, contributor, or moderator in developer spaces (such as meetups, Discord, Reddit, or open-source ecosystems focused on next-gen tech). Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.
