Datadog is the leading service for cloud-scale monitoring. It is used by IT, operations, and development teams who build and operate applications that run on dynamic or high-scale infrastructure. Because Datadog collects metrics and events from 100+ different technologies and services out of the box, including other monitoring tools, you can monitor your entire stack in one place, without any gaps.

We’re on a mission to bring sanity to cloud operations and we need you to build the data pipelines to ingest, store, analyze and query hundreds of billions of events a day. Join us to build powerful and resilient data systems.

• Build distributed, high-throughput, real-time data pipelines
• Do it in Go, with bits of Python, C or others
• Use Kafka, Redis, Cassandra, Elasticsearch and other open-source components
• Join a tightly knit team solving hard problems the right way
• Own meaningful parts of our service, have an impact, grow with the company

Who you must be

• You have a BS/MS/PhD in a scientific field
• You have significant experience with Go and its standard library
• Before Go, you've mastered Python, Java or C/C++
• You can get down to the low-level when needed
• You tend to obsess over code simplicity and performance
• You want to work in a fast, high growth startup environment
• Your Github shows your chops

Bonus points

• You wrote your own data pipelines once or twice before (and know what you did wrong)
• You have battle scars with Cassandra, Hadoop, Kafka or Numpy
