Senior Software Engineer, macOS Specialist

The Windows and Mac Products team is driving Datadog’s expansion into End User Device Monitoring (EUDM) and the Digital Employee Experience (DEX) space. We are extending our observability platform to support the desktops and laptops used across enterprise environments. Our mission is to provide IT Administrators and Enterprise Ops teams with a single pane of glass to manage fleet health through robust, out-of-the-box observability for Windows and macOS. We bridge the gap between hardware performance, network connectivity, and application stability by building native, low-level telemetry tools that treat Windows and macOS as a first-class platform. By ensuring feature parity and operational excellence across every layer of the stack, we deliver deep visibility into critical issues without requiring the deployment of additional agents or libraries.

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.
