Cloud Security Engineer II

As a Cloud Security Engineer you will partner with different stakeholders across the organization to secure our cloud infrastructure. We work closely with engineers across various domains of the Datadog infrastructure stack, driving a culture of empowering engineers to have strong security ownership of their products and services through the development of security resources and tools that help promote a secure by default model. Not only do we partner with engineering teams to identify security risks that can impact our overall security posture, we work alongside them and collaborate to develop security solutions and standards to mitigate these risks to our customers and their data. 

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.

What You’ll Do: 

• Triage Cloud Security Management (CSM) alerts, maintain a zero-alert triage queue, and support incident response with well-maintained runbooks
• Design new and improve existing security tools, ensure their operational reliability, adherence to SLAs, and strengthen the organization’s security posture through proactive monitoring and continuous improvement.
• Drive innovation by automating security processes and developing advanced methods for analyzing and responding to security findings.
• Maintain and refine custom cloud security baselines, develop emerging cspm signatures, and collaborate across teams to introduce new signature capabilities.
• Empathize with the full spectrum of our customers and our engineers by advocating for effective solutions that scale with the needs of our business and our customers. 
• Build security controls that detect, prevent, and correct cloud vulnerabilities in our very complex and challenging environment.
• Leverage and influence the direction of Datadog’s home-grown security products to secure our infrastructure, and provide internal feedback that enables our teams to improve the products for ourselves and our customers.

Who You Are: 

• You have a BS/MS/PhD in a Computer Science, Engineering or related scientific field or equivalent professional experience.
• Passionate about advocating for and implementing solutions to complex problems, at-scale, in a large multi-cloud environment.
• You don’t want to just provide security recommendations, you want to help implement solutions to solve systemic issues. 
• You have prior experience in Development Operations, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Security Architecture, Cloud Security or Offensive Security.
• Fluent in one or more modern coding languages (Python, Go, Java, JavaScript, etc.).
• Experience with one or more infrastructure as code tools (Terraform, Ansible, etc.).
• Experience with AWS, GCP, Azure and/or containers (e.g. Kubernetes).
  Able to work both independently and collaboratively, willing to work in a fast paced, high growth environment.
• You stay updated with modern security best practices, technologies and emerging threats.

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.
