About the Role

At Datadog, a Most Loved Workplace® certified employer in the Technology space, Observe, Secure, and Optimize Modern Cloud Infrastructure at Scale.

At Datadog, Batch Engineering owns something most engineers only dream about: a domain. They are responsible for the systems that apply signal finding models at scale, and are looking for a senior backend engineer to own and grow this space from our Paris hub.

The core here is Kafka and Flink while collaborating with data scientists on signal systems that work at scale. Most backend engineers work in one or the other; you'd own both end-to-end.

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.
