Manager I, Engineering - Code Coverage

Datadog is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and grow our Code Coverage team, which is building the next generation of AI-powered developer tooling. This team owns Datadog’s Code Coverage product across the entire stack, helping customers track and enforce test coverage. Code Coverage is part of the Software Delivery suite, which enables engineering teams to move faster and more securely.

In this role, you will lead and develop a high-performing engineering team in an ambiguous environment. You’ll set technical direction, drive execution, and remain hands-on. You will partner closely with customers and product management to evolve the product into an automated system that leverages production signals and AI to improve test quality, relevance, and performance.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships that it builds, the creativity it brings to the table, and the collaboration of being together. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
