Engineer Interview Process
1) Application Review:

Our recruiting team kicks off the process by reviewing your resume and credentials. You’ll hear from one of our recruiting team members if we think you are a good fit for the position, and we’ll set up some time to chat.

2) Interview:

Our interviews take on average, 2-4 weeks, depending on schedules. We make sure you’ll meet with potential peers, manager, and possibly an executive. While our processes may vary from role to role, you can expect a combo of 1-2 phone interviews, 1-2 on-site interviews, and something like a coding assignment or case study.

3) Selection:

We make our hiring decisions based on the best possible fit for the role. Our teams rate each candidate based on the set of criteria that we’ve designed for each role, and we review feedback from each interviewer to make a thoughtful hiring decision. The recruiting team will follow up with you on an answer after the interview.

4) Interview Survey:

We will send you a post-interview survey so that you can rate how we’re doing. Your feedback is important to us, as we’re constantly looking to improve our interview process and the candidate experience.

That’s why we offer a generous paid time off program with the flexibility to take the time you need to do everything from pick your child up from daycare to take a long weekend to relax and recharge.

At Datadog, diversity means making a conscious effort to reflect the many experiences and identities of the world outside, while treating each other with fairness and without bias.

Inclusion is the choice we make every day to foster an environment where people of all backgrounds not only belong, but excel, so that together, as a company, we can succeed.
