Lead Engineer – Developer Experience
Datum
• Own the developer experience for our platform, from the browser to the command line to the IDE. • Use your high standard of taste and judgment for when to lean in, and when to break the mold. • Keep pace for our team by managing our releases, working across the organization to balance priorities with capacity. • Lead our investments in documentation, and be an active advocate and communicator. • Partner to help us build trust with users and customers, from uptime to security. • Work with users, “alt cloud” customers, and partners to maximize dopamine and minimize friction. • Approach problems through the lens of Datum APIs. • Work in the open and drive community engagement. • Lean into open source - we make money through our network, not our software. • Scale yourself and the team through effective automation. • Play an active role in the community, from meetups to blog posts and demos. • Drive your roadmap by modeling Datum’s values every day. • Distill customer needs into clear problem statements that align priorities. • Use maximum creativity to solve hard problems, balancing tradeoffs. • Shepherd the team through timely decision-making. • Improve efficiency and processes along the way.
Job Requirements
- You regularly use public and alt clouds and have strong opinions about the experience.
- You’ve written code for the browser and are conversant with TypeScript and probably React, Angular, or similar frameworks. You also know how to get around a Unix shell and have opinions about that.
- You’re an operator at heart and don't tolerate manual deployments or slow builds.
- You have enough familiarity with Kubernetes or other container orchestration systems to work seamlessly with our control and data planes.
- You’re comfortable with next-gen tools and ways of working, from Cursor to Claude.
- You have a track record of using, building, and contributing to open source.
- High EQ: You read rooms, understand people, and navigate complexity with grace.
- You're driven by impact and energized by building something meaningful.
- Humility: You check your ego, give credit freely, and focus on collective success.
Benefits
- Datum's mission to unlock internet superpowers for builders.
- Ability to work in the open and drive community engagement.
- Opportunities to engage with users and customers from uptime to security.
- A chance to play an active role in the community through meetups and speaking engagements.
