Manager I, Engineering - Agent Data Plane

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of five engineers across Madrid and the US, ranging from early-career to senior, helping each of them build their impact and career
• Own planning and delivery for Agent Data Plane, including the phased migration of the Datadog Agent's data pipelines from Go to Rust
• Build strong relationships with the teams that own the logs, metrics, traces, and checks pipelines built on Agent Data Plane, as well as the APM Agent team, aligning priorities and working through competing requests
• Evolve Agent Data Plane into a true platform that other teams can build on with minimal support, while staying consistent with the project's architecture and goals
• Partner with the technical lead and senior engineers on design decisions, bringing your own technical judgment to performance, resource usage, and reliability tradeoffs
• Represent the team in cross-team and technical discussions, and help shape the team's new on-call rotation

Who You Are

• You have 2+ years of experience managing software engineering teams
• You have a strong individual contributor background (typically 5+ years) and the technical depth to earn the trust of senior engineers, including those who know more about the details than you do
• You have 2+ years of hands-on systems programming experience in a language such as Rust, C++, Go, or C
• You've owned systems that other teams or customers depend on, and you've guided your team through incidents when things broke
• You've led a team through a significant migration or the replacement of widely used technology, communicating clearly with the teams affected

Nice to Have

• Experience with Rust
• Experience building software that runs on customer infrastructure, such as agents or collectors, rather than internal services
• Experience on a platform team whose work other teams build on
• Experience with open source software, such as working with external contributors and maintaining public repositories
