Manager I, Engineering - Code Coverage

Datadog is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and grow our Code Coverage team, which is building the next generation of AI-powered developer tooling. This team owns Datadog’s Code Coverage product across the entire stack, helping customers track and enforce test coverage. Code Coverage is part of the Software Delivery suite, which enables engineering teams to move faster and more securely.

In this role, you will lead and develop a high-performing engineering team in an ambiguous environment. You’ll set technical direction, drive execution, and remain hands-on. You will partner closely with customers and product management to evolve the product into an automated system that leverages production signals and AI to improve test quality, relevance, and performance.

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

 

What You’ll Do: 

• Lead and develop a team of four engineers in Madrid, supporting their growth through mentorship, regular 1:1s, and clear performance feedback, while fostering a strong culture of ownership and quality
• Guide the evolution of Code Coverage into an AI-powered system that uses production data and LLMs to identify coverage gaps and improve test effectiveness
• Partner with product management and customers to define and evolve the roadmap, aligning stakeholders and translating strategy into clear priorities
• Stay hands-on by contributing to architecture and design decisions, and by participating in the on-call rotation
  
  

Who You Are: 

• You have a strong interest in AI and agentic engineering, and are curious about how LLMs and autonomous systems can improve developer workflows
• You have experience leading an engineering team as a tech lead or manager, with a track record of developing engineers at different levels
• You are an excellent leader with strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to build and lead high-performing teams and set priorities effectively
• You are comfortable operating in ambiguity and can drive execution in evolving environments by forming clear value hypotheses and iterating quickly
• You have hands-on experience with Java or Go, worked on large scale distributed systems, and are willing to stay close to the code and participate in an on-call rotation
• You have strong product sense and communication skills, and can collaborate effectively with product managers, customers, and cross-functional stakeholders

 

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply. 

 

Benefits and Growth: 

• New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
• Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing
• Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking
• An inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (Datadog employee resource groups)
• Access to Inclusion Talks, our Internal panel discussions
• Free, global mental health benefits for employees and dependents age 6+
• Competitive global benefits

Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.
