The opportunity
The Language Tools team enables ~1,500 Datadog developers to build, test, and package millions of lines of Go, Python, Java, Rust, and TypeScript in our backend monorepo. Our success is measured by their productivity and satisfaction.
What you'll do
Invent build, test and packaging tools that are simpler and more reliable to use.
Push performance and cost efficiency at scale, raising cache hit rates and: cutting CI times and compute spend across millions of targets.
Treat CI like SREs treat prod, making sure our pipelines are green and fast.
Prepare, run, and finish complex migrations.
Contribute back to the Bazel ecosystem, upstreaming fixes and shaping features we depend on.
An expert in Bazel and/or one of the languages listed above.
What they're looking for
- A well-rounded engineer. You must broadly understand the various types of: software projects that are built, tested, and packaged with our tools.
- Both careful and fearless. The changes we make impact the velocity of: hundreds of engineers. They are risky but necessary.
- User-focused. We help Datadog engineers to use the tools that we develop, and: continuously improve their usability, so they don’t need our help the next time.
- Ideally, you have experience working with a large codebase.
