Description du poste

The Incident Management SRE team at Datadog fosters a resilient culture by using incidents as learning opportunities and catalysts for growth. We collaborate closely with teams across departments to enhance on-call experience, incident response, and post-incident analysis, reducing friction and optimizing tooling and processes. Our efforts empower Datadog to navigate unexpected failures confidently, efficiently, and with a commitment to continuous learning and systems improvement.

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.

What You’ll Do

• Steer the on-call experience for the company by establishing best practices and building platforms to support on-call rotations and compensation.
• Define how we respond to incidents and write software to streamline the process, collaborating with product teams as needed. Our aim is to fully support our incident responders in dealing with complexity.
• Contribute to the post-mortem process for the company, collaborating with teams on writing them, and identifying opportunities to reduce friction and enhance learning value for the organization. Our team also runs a weekly postmortem reading group.
• Support various teams in facilitating incident reviews that emphasize learning and blamelessness. Help them share their learnings across the organization to improve the resilience of our people.
• Train our on-callers in incident and post-mortem processes, involving both introducing newcomers to on-call responsibilities and refreshing the knowledge of existing engineers.
• Engage in cross-functional collaborations with different teams across the organization, embedding in their group for a few weeks to either learn about how work is performed or help them improve on-call practices

Who You Are

• At least 3 years of experience building software that solves real user problems, designing new features with RFCs as well as reviewing others’ code and documents collaboratively. We develop in Go and Python and a bit of TypeScript.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and distributed systems, along with an understanding of their potential failure scenarios.
• Interest in analyzing incidents, identifying broader risk patterns, and effectively sharing findings for others to understand and learn from.
• Experience being on-call and responding to incidents, iteratively improving incident response processes.
• Empathy, collaboration, and communication skills in English to cultivate strong relationships across various teams in the organization
• Willingness to teach and train other engineers on best practices. Experience driving cross-functional change and leading through influence, or a strong interest in doing so.
