The opportunity
Datadog's client SDKs run inside our customers' mobile apps and websites, and every Datadog client-side product depends on them, including Real User Monitoring, Session Replay, Product Analytics, and Feature Flags. We maintain 11 open source SDKs across Browser, iOS, Android,…
What you'll do
Build, lead, and grow a team of mostly senior software engineers, hiring well: and helping senior and staff engineers grow their impact and careers
Own CI and test infrastructure across the SDK repositories: set health targets, detect and quarantine flaky tests, and provide test frameworks that engineers and coding agents can run locally
Define release cadences and help customers adopt updates, managing breaking: changes in SDKs that can't be rolled back once they're installed in customers' apps
Keep SDKs consistent through a shared specification, and remove the review: bottleneck so product teams can ship SDK changes without waiting on a small group of experts
Partner with product teams such as Session Replay, Product Analytics, and: Feature Flags, along with our SDK guilds and server SDK teams, to guide SDK changes from design to release
Build feature sets for new product capabilities and bring that to all partner teams
What they're looking for
- Bring AI coding agents into how the team builds, tests, and ships, and take: part in business-hours release, hotfix, and support escalation duty (no 24/7 pager)
- Experienced in managing a team of software engineers, including senior engineers
- Someone who has shipped and maintained SDKs, libraries, or developer tools that other engineers depend on
- Strong in at least one of Mobile Platforms, including iOS (Swift), Android: (Kotlin) , or Browser (TypeScript), and able to hold a technical conversation about applications development.
