• Perform architectural assessments and deep‑dive code reviews for partner integrations in the integrations‑extras and marketplace repositories, ensuring they meet our Quality Rubric.
• Solve complex technical challenges for partners via Zendesk, Slack, and dedicated technical consultations.
• Identify friction points in our Integration Developer Platform (IDP) and partner with our internal Product and Engineering teams to build a better developer experience.
• Maintain public‑facing developer documentation and internal tracking systems (JIRA) to ensure transparency and scale.

You Are

• A technical expert with 3+ years of experience in a technical role (Support Engineering, Solutions Architecture, or Software Development).
• Proficient in at least one language (Python or Go preferred).
• An observability enthusiast who understands monitoring fundamentals (Metrics, Logs, Traces) and modern standards like OpenTelemetry.
• A natural consultant with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to developers of varying skill levels.
• A tinkerer who is comfortable working with APIs, Linux environments, and cloud infrastructure.
• Someone who thrives in a hybrid work environment and values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity.

Bonus

• Demonstrated ability to use AI coding tools in day‑to‑day workflows and validate, critique, and refine AI‑generated output.
• You’re motivated to push the boundaries of how AI can improve software engineering best practices and contribute to building AI‑enabled products.

Why You Should Apply

• Generous and professional development and equipment budget.
• Best‑in‑class, high‑growth technical culture.
• Impactful role at the center of Datadog’s growth.
• Inclusive workplace that values diverse backgrounds and experiences.
