  • You are familiar with the cloud monitoring space 

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:

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