Datadog's platform has grown rapidly over the past few years, with engineers working in a broad range of specializations to develop products and integrations. The company encourages its employees to own their code throughout its lifecycle, promoting modern DevOps practices. Several Datadog engineers have made career shifts, such as Tanguy Le Barzic transitioning from Director to Staff Engineer, Claudia D'Adamo growing a regional team as an Engineering Site Lead, and Jaclyn Verga transitioning from Product Marketing to Security Engineering. These individuals have found fulfillment in their roles, with Tanguy aiming to build bridges between teams, Claudia advocating for her engineers' career development, and Jaclyn leveraging her PMM experience to help her team operate cross-functionally. Datadog offers ample opportunities for employee growth and development, including formalized processes and resources for mentorship, onboarding, training, and career development.
