Job summary

Datadog is seeking a growth-focused creator to own our developer audience. This role sits in the Product organization and requires turning engineering work into engaging content, running experiments, and building an attribution model that ties publications to trials and signups.

You'll manage developer channels, expand to new communities, and empower Datadog engineers and external developers to share work under their names. A strong writer with a technical sensibility will thrive here.

Responsibilities

• Own the voice, editorial standard, and publishing cadence for Datadog's developer channels (@datadogdevs on X, Datadog Developers on LinkedIn)
• Treat replies as a primary surface. The best accounts win in the mentions, not the feed
• Expand into the places developers actually spend time: Reddit, YouTube, Discord, Bluesky, dev.to, Hacker News, and whatever you make the case for
• Turn shipped engineering work into things people want to read and watch. Releases, changelogs, war stories, the occasional postmortem that deserves a wider audience
• Build the attribution model connecting what you publish to trials and signups. Nobody is handing you this one
• Run real experiments: a hypothesis, a readout, and the willingness to kill something publicly when it doesn't work
• Lead the developer content engine around events
• Get other people posting — Datadog engineers under their own names, and developers outside the company who already like us and could use the support
• Track what developers are saying about us and our competitors, and route it back to product and growth
