Manager II, Engineering - Observability Pipelines

We're looking for an Engineering Manager II to own and grow the Observability Pipelines engineering org at a pivotal moment in the product's lifecycle. Observability Pipelines is Datadog's on-premise, vendor-agnostic telemetry pipeline product, with a lot still to build as it grows and scales. It sits at the center of a fast-consolidating market, is central to Datadog's data pipeline optimization story for Logs and Metrics customers. This is a build-and-scale opportunity: you'll grow the management and technical leadership layers, co-own the roadmap with Product, and define how this org operates as it continues to expand. 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:       Directly manage the OP org including EM1s across NYC and Paris, set technical direction, and be the connective tissue across a distributed team       Build out the management and technical leadership layers as the org continues to grow - today ~20 ICs       Partner directly with Product to co-own the roadmap and strategy, helping decide where OP’s engineering investment goes next       Set and evolve the operating rhythm across the group: planning cadence, on-call and incident standards, and cross-team
