Additional Information

Husky is what we call the distributed, petabyte-scale columnar event store at the heart of our Event Platform, which powers dozens of Datadog's most popular products - Logs, RUM, APM , Cloud Network Monitoring, Netflow, and many more. Husky was built from the ground up at Datadog to store and query massive volumes of event data at low cost, with data fully queryable within seconds of arrival. As an Engineering Manager on Husky, you will lead one of a few closely collaborating teams that work directly on Husky's internals. We own the full lifecycle of events stored by our Event Platform - whether it's managing the ingestion of over 100 million events per second exactly-once , optimizing the persistence layer with lightning-fast compaction , tweaking our columnar format, timely deletion across hundreds of thousands of customer tables, or building the metadata service that enables hundreds of thousands of queries per second - you will be responsible for the growth and success of a team constantly meeting new scalability requirements driven by Datadog's growing customer base and suite of products. At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships that it builds, the creativity it brings to the table, and the collaboration of being together. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
