About Datadog:

We're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams. We operate at high scale—trillions of data points per day—allowing for seamless collaboration and problem-solving among Dev, Ops and Security teams globally for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.

The Team:

The Revenue Data Engineering Teams create the data processing pipelines that measure our customers’ usage across all Datadog products, providing vital insights to a broad variety of users. This group of teams is at the leading edge of any new product we release.
