AWS Infrastructure Engineer

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.

How would you like to go “meta” with your work on AWS infrastructures? Much like a number of our customers, Datadog operates a large, complex and growing AWS infrastructure spread over multiple accounts using novel AWS features. What should the AWS infrastructure look like when Datadog monitors an order of magnitude more servers and services? If you think you have the answers, join us as an AWS Infrastructure Engineer.

* Manage and automate all aspects of our AWS infrastructure (compute, storage, network, permissions, cost) * Work with the rest of the Engineering team to support orders of magnitude more customers * Own our corpus of IAM policies that does not get in the way yet provides provable guarantees of a trustworthy infrastructure * Monitor aspects of usage that impact billing and implement changes to optimize our bill * Ensure the AWS infrastructure upholds required security guarantees * Evaluate and use cutting edge AWS features to support Datadog’s goals
