Description de l'emploi - Engineering Manager I, Core Observability, Paris

The Core Observability Integration team ensures Datadog’s internal observability needs are met with reliability, scalability, and cost-efficiency by operating mission-critical telemetry collection, processing, and storage systems. In this role, you’ll lead and mentor a team based in Paris and distributed in France focused on strengthening our internal observability and practices at Datadog. Focusing in particular on our Telemetry (Logs, APM, Metrics and Cloud Integrations), your team role is to put in place toolings and best practices to improve our reliability, improve our incident response and keep our cost under control.


As the Engineering Manager for the Core Observability Integration Team, you will lead a high-performing team of software reliability engineers (SRE), guiding them in building and maintaining these mission-critical systems. Collaboration is key in this role, you will interact with multiple engineering, product influencing their roadmap to serve Datadog’s needs. Your strategic vision will not only guide your team's day-to-day operations but also influence the long-term roadmap of key products at Datadog.


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.


 


What You’ll Do:



  • Lead and mentor a team of engineers distributed between Paris and France, supporting career growth through coaching, feedback, and development opportunities.

  • Translate organization-wide observability needs into clear technical strategies, well-prioritized roadmaps, and measurable OKRs.

  • Drive delivery of complex, cross-organization initiatives from problem framing through production deployment at Datadog scale.

  • Guide high-quality technical execution by reviewing designs and pull requests, and establishing engineering standards for reliability, observability, and security.

  • Strengthen operational excellence by improving SLOs, on-call practices, automation, and runbooks to reduce risk and improve reliability.

  • Reduce user friction and operational risk for Datadog’s internal platform usage by designing best practices and providing tooling for teams to use.


 


Who You Are:



  • 6+ years of experience in software or systems engineering, with experience operating or building large-scale distributed systems.
    2–3 years of experience as a people manager or technical leader with strong mentorship skills, including experience supporting performance, growth, and team execution.

  • Hands-on experience in SRE and observability (metrics, logs, traces, telemetry pipelines), including operating critical infrastructure or platforms at scale.

  • Demonstrated ability to lead ambiguous, cross-functional technical work and turn complex problems into clear action plans.

  • Strong operational background, including on-call participation and a track record of improving reliability through disciplined practices.

  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to build alignment across technical and non-technical teams in English.


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.


Benefits and Growth:



  • Generous and competitive benefits package

  • New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan

  • Continuous career development and pathing opportunities

  • Employee-focused best in class onboarding

  • Internal mentor and cross-departmental buddy program

  • Friendly and inclusive workplace culture
