About Husky

Husky is what we call the distributed, petabyte-scale columnar event store at the heart of our Event Platform, which powers dozens of Datadog’s most popular products – Logs, RUM, APM, Cloud Network Monitoring, Netflow, and many more. Husky was built from the ground up at Datadog to store and query massive volumes of event data at low cost, with data fully queryable within seconds of arrival.

What You’ll Do:

• Manage a team of software engineers ranging from new grads to senior engineers, focusing on career development, inclusivity, and high impact.

• An excellent leader with strong interpersonal skills, with experience in career development and performance management.
