Engineering Manager, Sensitive Data Scanner

About the role

Datadog is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead its Sensitive Data Scanner (SDS) Telemetry team in Paris. The SDS team builds and scales the detection capabilities that scan all telemetry data flowing into Datadog (logs, APM spans and RUM events) in streaming, at processing time and at very large scale.

• Contribute to design decisions and take part in the team's on-call rotation
• Recruit, mentor and develop engineers as the team grows
• Help build a strong engineering culture within the Sensitive Data Scanner group

Required profile

• Experience building and shipping revenue-generating products, with strong product sense and a customer-first mindset
• Experience managing engineers, or readiness for a first formal management role
• Success measured through customer and business outcomes, not just output shipped
• Comfortable weighing trade-offs between speed and correctness, ideally from a fast-moving environment

Required skills
