Staff Machine Learning Engineer - BitsAI

Datadog is building AI-assisted agents to help our users solve operational and security related problems in an automated way. This ambitious project consumes data about our customers’ systems, discovers potential problems, proposes solutions, and offers those solutions to users with manual and automated steps. The goal for the team is to provide pathways to resolve problems identified across Datadog products.

We’re looking for a security-minded Staff Software Engineer with ML/AI or security engineering (SIEM) experience to be the technical lead for the effort. We are not building models directly; rather, we’re employing appropriate technologies, including but not limited to generative AI, to provide this experience for users.

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 technical effort to develop the architecture, patterns, and individual solutions to investigate and remediate problems
• Collaborate closely with data scientists and engineers to develop the next generation of Datadog’s features
• Represent and evangelize the project across Datadog
• Regularly speak with users to discover their needs and feedback
• Navigate tradeoffs between thoroughness and time-to-market, understanding how to provide the right level of value to customers at the right time
• Work with other Datadog teams to integrate their domain expertise into solution pathways
• Mentor and grow other engineers on the team and beyond

Who You Are:

• You’re passionate about Generative AI and its ability to help software engineers and security engineers be more productive and keep systems more secure
• You ship fast, route around blockers, and are comfortable working with ambiguity
• You love talking with users
• You’re happy to jump into any part of the stack and do whatever’s needed to move a project forward
• You may have been a founder or early builder at a startup– this is a similar kind of effort
• You have a BS/MS/PhD in a Computer Science, Engineering or related scientific field or equivalent experience

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.

Benefits and Growth:

• High income earning opportunities based on individual performance
