As Engineering Manager for Code Security, you'll lead a team of engineers building Infrastructure as Code and Secrets protection - one of the fastest-growing areas inside Datadog's security business, with a strong roadmap and real customer problems to solve. You'll partner closely with Product Management and User Experience to shape how the team delivers, stay hands-on with the technical work, and bring AI deeply into how your engineers build. The organization is still young, which means real room to shape its direction and grow into broader scope as it does.

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.

What You'll Do:

  • Lead and grow a team of engineers building Datadog's Infrastructure as Code and Secrets security products

  • Bring AI deeply into how the team builds, from adopting agentic coding tools to rethinking workflows around them
  • Coach engineers at every level, giving direct feedback and helping them grow their scope and careers
  • Keep the team's projects and programs organized as priorities shift across a fast-growing area

  • You're comfortable staying close to the work - reviewing code and unblocking technical decisions alongside your team
  • You've integrated AI agents into how you and your team deliver code, not just experimented with them
  • You keep projects and programs organized, even as priorities and scope shift

Nice to Have:

  • Background in security, ideally with depth in code security
  • Experience in customer-facing conversations
