Datadog's Detection Engineering & Threat Hunting, and Cyber Threat Intelligence teams need to be more effective by supporting their infrastructure, delivering automation, and designing intuitive user experiences so they can focus on their core expertise without friction.
Requirements
- Comfortable with cloud-native engineering (AWS, Azure, GCP) and orchestration (Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD, infrastructure as code).
- Experienced with large-scale data pipelines and observability platforms.
- Fluent in one or more modern languages (Python, Go, Java, JavaScript, etc.).
- Experience building production-ready AI/LLM-powered systems, from prototypes to deployed services.
- Breadth of experience across the full technology stack, including frontend development, command-line tools, and even web browser extensions.
- Experience deploying and maintaining open source or commercial threat intelligence platforms.
Responsibilities
- Partner closely with security engineers and security researchers to ensure their workflows scale without infrastructure bottlenecks.
- Operate adversary telemetry systems, such as deception environments and malware analysis platforms, to capture attacker behaviors.
- Build and maintain intelligence infrastructure, including a Threat Intelligence Platform, pipelines for ingestion, enrichment, and access to threat information.
- Design, build, and scale platforms that provide visibility into detection health, including dashboards and metrics to track coverage, drift, and readiness.
- Provide and optimize data pipelines and datasets that defenders rely on for investigations and validation.
- Develop automation that powers threat hunting at scale, enabling researchers to transform intelligence or reports into executable queries and workflows.
- Advocate for modern engineering practices in Go, Python, and other languages in a microservice-oriented, multi-cloud environment.
Other
- A software engineer who can turn ambiguous requirements into production-ready systems.
- Excited to collaborate with security engineers and security researchers, enabling them to focus on research and detection development by removing infrastructure and workflow friction.
- Values collaboration, mentorship, and getting the right things done.
- Serve as a mentor to our team of software engineers
- At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
