Datadog runs on an extremely complex and large global cloud footprint. Our infrastructure spans regions and cloud providers. At our scale, scaling to growth in traffic requires us to manage our cloud capacity using analytics and automation.

The capacity management function is responsible for economically efficient management of infrastructure capacity for Datadog. This team ensures that we have capacity needed for proactive growth of the entire company across regions and cloud providers. And this team ensures that this is done in the most cost-efficient way.

This team will solve the hard problems of modeling capacity for a very complex multi-cloud, multi-region infrastructure and build automation to systematically manage capacity for Datadog.

We are looking for an ambitious leader to help orient and manage a business critical engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for effective functioning of an internet-scale, complex cloud infrastructure that supports a fast-moving agile business.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious leader comfortable acting as a trusted advisor to software engineers, infrastructure managers, executive and org leadership.

Who You Are:
