  • Comfortable navigating containerized environments like Docker and Kubernetes.

  • Confident with scripting and automation (Python, Go, or Bash) to improve troubleshooting workflows.

  • Able to navigate through APIs, and integrations, understanding their behavior at a deep level.

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.

Benefits and Growth:
