We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Sensitive Data Scanner (SDS) Telemetry team. The SDS group’s mission is to be the world’s easiest-to-use tool to discover, classify, manage, and report sensitive data risks across cloud, on-premise, and code environments.
What you'll do
Lead and grow a team of engineers building real-time sensitive data detection: across Datadog’s Logs, APM, and RUM telemetry pipelines
Partner closely with the Logs, APM, and RUM teams, plus Datadog’s Trust &: Safety team, to align on roadmap and integration priorities
Shape product direction by working closely with Product, grounding decisions: in customer needs and business impact
Stay hands-on: contribute to design decisions and participate in the team’s on-call rotation
Recruit, mentor, and develop engineers as the team grows beyond its initial size
Help build a strong engineering culture as part of Datadog’s broader Sensitive Data Scanner group
What they're looking for
- You have experience building and shipping revenue-generating products, with: strong product acumen and a customer-first mindset
- You have hands-on experience with Go and/or Java, and a track record building: distributed, streaming systems at scale
- You have experience managing engineers: or are ready to step into your first formal management role — and know how to set goals, give feedback, and help a team grow
- You measure success through customer and business outcomes, not just output shipped
