Job Description
The Language Tools team enables hundreds of Datadog backend engineers to build test and package secure quality code. Our success is measured by their productivity and happiness.
They use the tools that we develop and support several times a day; in dev and CI; in diverse Git repositories from very large polyglot or monoglot repositories (monorepos sic to smaller repositories scoped to services or libraries (microrepos); and in various languages including Go Python Java Rust and TypeScript. To orchestrate our builds we use either Bazel or industry standard tools for the language depending on the repository.
As a manager on the team you will take ownership of one of our areas of responsibility. The team is growing rapidly not only following Datadogs growth but also taking over repositories and languages that were formerly managed by their users.

- Make datadriven riskaware decisions to solve ambiguous problems and confirm results. The changes we make impact the velocity of hundreds of engineers.
