Senior Software Engineer - Incident Insights & Readiness

We're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams. We operate at high scale—trillions of data points per day—providing always-on alerting, metrics visualization, logs, and application tracing for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way

 

The Incident Insights & Readiness SRE team at Datadog fosters a resilient culture by using incidents as learning opportunities and catalysts for growth. Our users are Datadog engineers, and we build the software, tooling, and operational frameworks that help them prepare for, respond to, and learn from incidents. We work closely with engineering teams across Datadog to analyze incidents and turn those insights into better tools, stronger incident response, and organizational learning. Our efforts empower Datadog to navigate unexpected failures confidently, efficiently, and with a commitment to continuous learning and systems improvement.
