The Madrid office of Datadog was founded by Fernando Mayo and Borja Burgos, who previously co-founded Undefined Labs to improve how developers test applications. The team joined Datadog in 2020 through the acquisition of Undefined Labs and has been expanding rapidly, with a focus on accelerating growth in the Madrid hub. The Madrid team is led autonomously, with ownership and impact being core principles of the engineering culture at Datadog. The team's main focus is on building and delivering on the mission of shift-left observability, specifically features such as Static Analysis and Quality Gates. With an international team, the Madrid office brings together knowledge and experience from diverse teams around the world, enabling access to unique challenges and talent. The team is rapidly expanding, with 40 people currently working in different teams, and plans to grow into a more established engineering hub.
