Software Engineer - Serverless Datadog
New York, NY

Job Description

The company:

We're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams. We operate at high scale-trillions of data points per day-providing always-on alerting, metrics visualization, logs, and application tracing for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.

The team:

The Serverless team is expanding Datadog to build first-class support for Functions-as-a-Service products like AWS Lambda, as well as new, upcoming products from our partners. The team works on high-scale distributed systems to collect data in real-time, as well as compelling, usable UIs that enable our customers to truly understand what's happening across all their serverless applications.

The opportunity:

Serverless computing represents a new programming model for the cloud. Monitoring these applications presents unique challenges, given their highly-distributed nature and the lack of access to the underlying infrastructure. As an engineer on the Serverless team, you'll help set the industry-standard for serverless monitoring tools, partnering with teams across Datadog working on metrics, distributed tracing and logs analytics.

Requirements:

* You have significant experience in one or more languages
* You value code simplicity and performance
* You can design architecture to solve problems at high scale
* You have a BS/MS/PhD in a scientific field or equivalent experience
* You want to work in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment that respects its engineers and customer.

Bonus Points:

* You've worked at high scale with systems like Redis, Cassandra, or Kafka
* You've built and monitored a serverless application
* You've worked on widely-used software libraries
* You have significant experience with Python, Go, or Java
