Manager I, Engineering - Agent Data Plane

At Datadog in the Technology space, Observe, Secure, and Optimize Modern Cloud Infrastructure at Scale.

<p>The Agent Data Plane team is building the next foundation for the Datadog Agent: a new Rust-based platform for the telemetry pipelines (logs, metrics, traces, checks, and more) that run on our customers' infrastructure. Designed for performance, a small and predictable resource footprint, and resiliency, Agent Data Plane will take over the Agent's existing Go-based data pipelines. See a recent episode of Datadog On to hear more about the origins of this project from its technical lead: <a href="https://datadogon.datadoghq.com/episodes/datadog-on-rust-return-of-rust/">Datadog On: Return of Rust</a>.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>As the team's first dedicated Engineering Manager, you'll guide a team of five engineers, partner closely with the project's technical lead, and help other Agent teams build their pipelines on the platform. Your work will lower the cost customers pay to run the Agent, reduce Datadog's own infrastructure costs, and make the Agent's performance and reliability a lasting competitive advantage. This is also a very public evolution of the Agent's architecture: <a href="https://github.com/datadog/saluki">the codebase</a> is open source, and the work lends itself to technical blog posts and conference talks. As the Agent organization grows, you'll have the opportunity to take on broader scope and grow into the next level of engineering management.</p>
