APM Data Hub is at the core of APM, one of the product pillars of Datadog. Our team is responsible for the backend pipeline that processes, transforms, and routes tracing data at scale after ingestion. Our mission is to extend the pipeline's capabilities so that multiple products across Datadog can leverage the rich data present in traces - serving not only APM Distributed Tracing but a growing number of product teams that depend on this data.

As an Engineering Manager for APM Data Hub, you'll lead a distributed team of 6 engineers with diverse seniority, shaping the technical vision of a platform that sits at a critical intersection of Datadog's product ecosystem. You'll own the roadmap for how tracing data is processed and exposed to multiple consumers, maintain high engineering standards for a system operating reliably at scale, and facilitate cross-functional collaboration with the product teams building on top of your  pipeline. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to solving complex engineering challenges with a transversal impact on multiple products.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships that it builds, the creativity it brings to the table, and the collaboration of being together. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
