The opportunity
At Datadog, Batch Engineering owns something most engineers only dream about: a domain. They are responsible for the systems that apply signal finding models at scale, and are looking for a senior backend engineer to own and grow this space from our Paris hub.
What you'll do
Design, build, and operate the backend systems that apply signal finding: models at scale for internal data science teams and external customers.
Own Kafka and Flink components end to end, from architecture and: implementation through production reliability, performance, and evolution.
Partner with data scientists to turn models and signal requirements into robust production workflows.
Improve the scalability, observability, and operational resilience of data processing systems as usage grows.
Lead technical decisions in your domain, collaborate across engineering: teams, and help other engineers grow through design reviews and mentorship.
You have significant backend engineering experience building and operating distributed systems in production.
What they're looking for
- You have hands-on experience with Kafka and Flink, including designing or: improving data processing pipelines at scale.
- You can reason through tradeoffs in throughput, latency, reliability, and: maintainability, and turn those decisions into clear designs and working code.
- You enjoy collaborating with data scientists and engineering partners to: translate open-ended requirements into dependable systems.
- You can take ownership of a technical area while sharing context, reviewing: designs, and supporting the growth of teammates.
