Datadog´s Platform & Developer Experience teams build the foundational tools and systems that support every part of our product. As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you´ll design and maintain shared UI libraries, build pipelines, design systems, and developer tooling that hundreds of engineers rely on daily. You´ll work closely with frontend engineers across the company to understand their day-to-day workflows, identify pain points, and uncover opportunities for new features and improvements. Through this collaboration, your work will improve reliability, performance, and engineering velocity at scale, while helping shape how frontend code is written, tested, and shipped company-wide.

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.

To give you a quick overview of some of the areas our frontend core teams focus on: our Design Ops team works on our design system, Druids; our Frontend DevX team builds the foundations that all frontend product teams at Datadog rely on; and our Frontend Framework team owns Datadog´s core frontend platform, powering the UI, toolkit, packages, and more.
