Manager I, Engineering - APM Serverless

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

As the Engineering Manager for APM Serverless, you will help define and deliver the end-to-end serverless APM experience, from auto-instrumentation through troubleshooting, and ensure that OpenTelemetry and Datadog-native customers alike have a frictionless and performant journey. You will also lead efforts to expand coverage of cloud-managed services across providers, ensuring customers can seamlessly trace and monitor critical services in all major and emerging cloud environments.

What it asks for · 7

• An experienced Engineering Manager with a track record of shipping products.
• Highly collaborative
• Experienced in two or more languages and comfortable building cross-runtime systems.
• Have a passion for libraries and OSS software development
• You care about developer experience, clean APIs, and reliable systems.
• An ability to pivot from high level product narratives to highly technical implementation details (and articulate how one impacts the other)
• You are comfortable with partner and stakeholder management

What the job covers

• Lead a polyglot team of 8-9 engineers and partner closely with Product and Engineering teams across Datadog to deliver industry-leading serverless capabilities that power consistent, scalable, and intuitive instrumentation across languages.
• Drive a domain that is technically rich: Lambda, Azure Functions, GCP, OTel billing, Rust, durable functions, distributed tracing across managed services. Engineers on this team work across languages, clouds, and deployment models — and the problems they solve are genuinely hard.
• Partner with the product manager to shape the strategy and execution for our 3 main clouds - AWS, Azure and GCP, in addition to being at the cutting edge of new managed platforms and how we can bring distributed tracing to them.
