Coordination Systems provides foundational distributed systems building blocks for internal Datadog platforms. Our services cover sharding, consensus, resource protection, configuration distribution, and much more.
We are looking for a manager to lead the Coordination Systems - Storage team. This team provides essential configuration storage and distribution systems that are depended upon by almost every service and pod at Datadog. We power critical runtime configuration (e.g. feature flags), complex control planes (e.g. dynamic sharding configuration), and much more.
Storage is one of four subteams within Coordination Systems. If successful, the candidate will have opportunities to lead other growing and impactful areas such as Resource Protection.
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.
