The opportunity
Reports to: Head of Developer Growth · New York, NY
What you'll do
Own the voice, editorial standard, and publishing cadence for Datadog's: developer channels (@datadogdevs on X, Datadog Developers on LinkedIn)
Treat replies as a primary surface. The best accounts win in the mentions, not the feed
Expand into the places developers actually spend time: Reddit, YouTube, Discord, Bluesky, dev.to, Hacker News, and whatever you make the case for. Always openly as Datadog — developers catch anything else immediately, and you only get caught once
Turn shipped engineering work into things people want to read and watch.: Releases, changelogs, war stories, the occasional postmortem that deserves a wider audience
Build the attribution model connecting what you publish to trials and signups. Nobody is handing you this one
Run real experiments: a hypothesis, a readout, and the willingness to kill something publicly when it doesn't work
What they're looking for
- Lead the developer content engine around events
- Get other people posting: Datadog engineers under their own names, and developers outside the company who already like us and could use the support
- Track what developers are saying about us and our competitors, and route it back to product and growth
- You've grown an audience from a small number to a large one
