Staff Technical Program Manager, Application Infrastructure

New York, New York, USA

Staff Technical Program Managers (TPMs) are responsible for our most crucial and complex projects that span technical teams, domains, and products at Datadog.

As a TPM, you’ll lead execution of large scale projects, coordinate cross-organizational dependencies, and help teams deliver and become more efficient.

Datadog is growing rapidly and you’d have an opportunity to solve deeply technical problems and impact our products. You can demonstrate your leadership abilities by driving decision-making and building strong relationships across the organization.

The TPM team focuses on maintaining lightweight processes and continual improvements while optimizing and accelerating execution.

Clear communication, metrics, and visibility are building blocks of our values. This TPM will focus on authentication, access control, and identity implementations.

These features are key components of almost all of the work that we do at Datadog so the TPM must have experience working on very large programs that require collaboration across multiple organizations.

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.

What You’ll Do :

• Manage large-scale, cross-organization programs, integrations, and migration efforts
• Work with teams to clarify goals and deliverables; bring data to planning and prioritization
• Help break down projects into component parts, identifying and tracking dependencies and opportunities for optimization;

proactively identify problems and recommend solutions before they become blockers

• Create and refine processes when necessary; maintain focus on reliability and continual improvements, and automation and scaling
• Identify KPIs and success metrics, collect and analyze data; make information visible
• Communicate goals, status, risks, and impact to teams and stakeholders; you are able to adapt communications to any level

Who You Are :

• Solid technical background with educational experience in computer science, an engineering discipline, mathematics, information systems, or equivalent work experience and you enjoy learning new technologies
• You have experience working collaboratively across organizations; strong leadership and interpersonal skills, experience building and fostering effective working relationships
• You have strong communication skills, attention to detail and enjoy working in an innovative environment
• You take a data-driven approach to program management; building tools (workflows, custom work intake processes, estimation models), collecting and analyzing data, and driving stakeholder buy-in
• You have experience influencing without direct authority at senior levels internal and external to the organization

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one.

That's okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.
