Manager I, Engineering - Code Security
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
Own the team's roadmap, staffing, and delivery, partnering closely with Product Management and User Experience
Stay hands-on: contribute to code review, weigh in on design decisions, and participate in the on-call rotation
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
Who You Are:

You bring a strong technical background you can draw on in day-to-day roadmap and design conversations
