We're looking for Software Engineering Interns to help build and scale the systems that power Datadog's observability and security platform. Interns contribute directly to real-world engineering challenges across backend, frontend, infrastructure, data engineering, and developer tooling while working alongside experienced engineers and mentors. You'll help design, build, and improve systems that process and analyze massive volumes of metrics, logs, and application data in real time. Whether you're interested in distributed systems, Kubernetes, AI-powered products like Bits AI, or developer platform tooling, you'll work on meaningful projects that deliver impact for customers at global scale.

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:

• Contribute to production systems that process and analyze large-scale observability and application data in real time

• Comfortable coding in one or more programming languages and excited to use AI-assisted tools to enhance software development and problem solving
• Have experience using AI coding tools or a strong interest in learning how to use them effectively while exploring how AI can improve engineering practices and products
• Available to complete a 6-month internship beginning in February, March, April, May, or June 2027 (we are unable to accommodate internships starting at any other time)

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We know 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 experience, we encourage you to apply.

Benefits and Growth:

• Work on meaningful technical challenges alongside engineers across the globe
• Participate in mentorship and buddy programs designed to support learning and development
• Join an in-person intern cohort, attend company social events, and engage with Datadog Community Guilds and employee resource groups throughout the internship
