• You’re excited by interactivity and large datasets
• You relate to one of these profiles:
• You combine your understanding of intuitive interaction design and performance constraints to create visual layouts of information that are actionable and responsive
• You have experience with modeling large data sets, allowing for flexibility, interactivity and performance

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.
