Job Description
Senior AI Engineer – APM Integrations
Datadog
• Build agent workflows that take an integration need from plan to implementation and validation with humans approving at the right checkpoints. • Create systems that synthesize context from codebases, docs, specs, telemetry, and historical incidents to make changes that match Datadog conventions and customer expectations. • Generate and evolve integration code and tests, including end-to-end scenarios that reflect real customer workloads and product features. • Design evaluation harnesses that prevent silent regressions: golden sets, scenario baselines, semantic checks, performance thresholds, and release gating. • Build portfolio-level automation: proactive updates for upstream breaking changes, tracer feature rollouts across the catalog, migrations to new schemas/semantics, and targeted coverage expansion. • Partner tightly with PM, support engineers, and integration-owning teams to make the system adoptable, trustworthy, and embedded in daily engineering workflows.
Job Requirements
- 6+ years building backend systems (Go, Java, or .NET) with strong focus on simplicity, correctness, and performance.
- Proven experience delivering LLM/agent features to production (prompting, tooling, evals, safety/guardrails).
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity, iterating from prototype to production, and measuring impact with clear metrics.
- Solid grasp of the ML lifecycle (task definition, dataset construction, modeling, evaluation, deployment, iteration) and statistics for experiments.
- Fluency with offline/online evals: golden sets, automated regressions, and evaluation harnesses that prevent silent quality drift.
- Experience with microservices performance: tracing, latency breakdowns, concurrency, resiliency patterns.
- Production operations mindset: monitoring, alerting, and participating in on‑call rotations where applicable.
- Hands‑on with distributed tracing stacks (OpenTelemetry/Datadog APM), profilers, and logs/metrics pipelines (bonus).
- Experience with planning/agent frameworks, tool‑use orchestration, RAG, and retrieval/indexing over large context (bonus).
- Experience building developer tools (IDEs, static analysis, compilers, code transformation pipelines) or code-generation systems (bonus).
- Familiarity with semantic conventions / schema migrations, scenario-based testing, and cross-language porting at scale (bonus).
Benefits
- New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
- Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing
- Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking
- An inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (Datadog employee resource groups)
- Access to Inclusion Talks, our Internal panel discussions
- Free, global mental health benefits for employees and dependents age 6+
- Competitive global benefits
