We are on a mission to break down silos and solve complexity in the cloud age by enabling digital transformation, cloud migration, and infrastructure monitoring of our customers’ entire technology stacks.

Role Overview

The Technical Writing & Documentation team creates engaging and informative technical content, particularly our public product documentation: Datadog Docs. Our team is hands-on with the technologies that Datadog monitors, and collaborates with technical and product teams to create technical documentation for our APIs, SDKs, developer and security tools, and community developed integrations, and a monthly product newsletter — thousands of pages of content!

• You are comfortable and familiar with modern infrastructure such as IaaS cloud services and containers.
• You have publicly available technical writing samples.
• You have written or managed server-side software and documentation.
• Bonus points if you have experience with Developer communications, like writing newsletters.
