The Datadog Agent is the first point of contact for our customers with Datadog. They have to install it on their infrastructure for it to start collecting data and for our application to generate useful insights. It means it's crucial for the user experience around it to be excellent.
The Agent Onboarding team is a new team we are forming to own this experience holistically. It will be responsible for all agent install methods (our Helm chart, the Datadog Operator, our Chef cookbook, and more) in all environments (on premise, managed cloud solutions) , the in-app Agent installation page, and contributing to the Datadog Agent itself when necessary to improve the onboarding process.
This team will collaborate heavily with all product teams at Datadog as the Agent is the central piece of software that handles data collection for Logs, Metrics, APM, and more. It will work across the stack, on frontend, backend, and system development.
As the manager of this newly formed team you will have the opportunity to work with your partner Product Manager to define the roadmap for this team with a high degree of autonomy. Long term, your growth opportunity will come from growing the team, splitting into more specialized teams, nurturing new managers, and leading a group of teams.
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.

Lead a team of engineers to develop existing and new install methods for the agent
Mentor engineers within your team, supporting them in career development
Own your entire scope's stack, from frontend with the install page, to agent installation and telemetry reporting, to integration with various backends of Datadog for the most advanced features
