Job Description

We are looking for a staff data scientist to join our data science organization. Reporting directly to the director of engineering for data science, your scope and impact will span across the whole data science organization.

As a staff data scientist, you will help design, implement and scale new and existing Datadog’s features. You will thrive to answer questions such as: “Is it feasible?”, “can we do it more efficiently with another technique?” and “what’s the business opportunity of this new data science framework?”.

Your roles will cover the whole data science lifecycle (design, prototyping, scaling and productionisation). And as one of the most senior members of the team will help coach, mentor and develop team members by being a champion for data science and engineering best practices.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

What You’ll Do:

• Identify high impact business opportunities through data exploration, model prototypes and bootstrapping projects.
• Hands-on development, productionisation, and operation of machine learning models and pipelines at scale, including both batch and real-time use cases, structured and unstructured data
• Collaborate closely with data scientists and engineers to develop the next generation of Datadog’s features
• Mentor and guide data scientists in the organization by promoting best practices, strong technical decisions, coding standards and thorough documentation
• Regularly present work internally (data science demo, internal talks,...) to technical, engineering and product stakeholders to iterate and generate excitement
• Engage with the data science and engineering community to advance Datadog’s standing
