Manager I, Engineering - Code Security

As Engineering Manager for Code Security, you'll lead a team of engineers building Infrastructure as Code and Secrets protection - one of the fastest-growing areas inside Datadog's security business, with a strong roadmap and real customer problems to solve. You'll partner closely with Product Management and User Experience to shape how the team delivers, stay hands-on with the technical work, and bring AI deeply into how your engineers build. The organization is still young, which means real room to shape its direction and grow into broader scope as it does.

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