Job description

As Engineering Manager for Code Security, you'll lead a team of engineers building Infrastructure as Code and Secrets protection - one of the fastest-growing areas inside the company's security business, with a strong roadmap and real customer problems to solve. You'll partner closely with Product Management and User Experience to shape how the team delivers, stay hands-on with the technical work, and bring AI deeply into how your engineers build. The organization is still young, which means real room to shape its direction and grow into broader scope as it does.

At the company, 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:

• Lead and grow a team of engineers building the company's Infrastructure as Code and Secrets security products

• Own the team's roadmap, staffing, and delivery, partnering closely with Product Management and User Experience

• Stay hands‑on: contribute to code review, weigh in on design decisions, and participate in the on‑call rotation

• Bring AI deeply into how the team builds, from adopting agentic coding tools to rethinking workflows around them

• Coach engineers at every level, giving direct feedback and helping them grow their scope and careers

• Keep the team's projects and programs organized as priorities shift across a fast‑growing area

Who You Are:

• You've managed software engineers for 2+ years, with a track record of shipping through your team

• You bring a strong technical background you can draw on in day‑to‑day roadmap and design conversations

• You're comfortable staying close to the work - reviewing code and unblocking technical decisions alongside your team

• You've integrated AI agents into how you and your team deliver code, not just experimented with them

• You keep projects and programs organized, even as priorities and scope shift

Nice to Have:

• Background in security, ideally with depth in code security

• Experience in customer‑facing conversations

Benefits and Growth:

• New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)

• Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing

• Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in‑house networking

• An inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (the company employee resource groups)

• Access to Inclusion Talks, our internal panel discussions

• Free, global mental health benefits for employees and dependents age 6+

• Competitive global benefits

Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with the company.
