Staff Software Engineer (Frontend) - Case Management

Datadog’s Staff Engineers are our technical leaders operating at the forefront of technology, building solutions that take us through at least our next five years of growth. They do this in three major ways:

As individual contributors, they bring world-class technical abilities to deliver industry-leading systems in areas such as data visualization, virtual runtime profiling, and planet-scale streaming. As technical leaders, they bring experienced technical breadth and communication skills to tackle design and architectural problems spanning the organization, charting the right course, and then leading delivery.
In both roles, they participate in the staff engineering community and help us learn from what the industry is doing and what we've built before, and so improving company-wide standards around software and systems engineering.
Case Management provides a single pane of glass to view issues in customers’ systems and allows them to triage tasks through prioritization, assignment, bulk actions, flexible views and integration with third-party ITSM products. With Datadog’s Case Management product, customers assign and track their work items without leaving the Datadog platform and keep all their data in one place to make it easier to resolve issues without switching contexts.

Case Management further helps Datadog minimize time to market to launch new products that support new engineering processes. It acts as an opinionated work tracking platform upon which other products build user experiences that best support their processes.

As Staff Engineer on Case Management, you will take the frontend of this product to the next level of growth and maturity both from a UX perspective but also define core building blocks and components that will make Case Management a platform for other Datadog products to build on.

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.
