Datadog is seeking a Sales Engineer to join the Commercial & Mid-Market team in Tokyo. You will partner with the sales organization to qualify and close opportunities by providing technical expertise through product demonstrations, technical presentations, and proof-of-concept support. Your role bridges the gap between customer technical needs and Datadog's observability and security platform capabilities.
Key responsibilities include delivering compelling product and technical presentations to prospective clients, building competitive knowledge in DevOps monitoring and infrastructure tools, and helping customers onboard and troubleshoot the platform. You will have direct collaboration with the product team, advocating for feature requests based on customer feedback and competitive insights. You'll also serve as a brand ambassador, working across teams to resolve customer concerns and escalate issues appropriately.
You bring hands-on experience with DevOps monitoring or architecture tools, systems administration (Windows or Linux), and confidence delivering technical content to external customers and internal stakeholders. You're comfortable with travel (up to 25% of the time) to client sites and can think creatively about diverse technical challenges. The role operates in a hybrid model, balancing office collaboration with flexibility for work-life harmony.
Datadog values learning and growth; if you're passionate about technology and eager to develop your skills, you're encouraged to apply even if you don't meet every qualification on day one. The company offers comprehensive onboarding, professional development, stock equity (RSUs), and an inclusive culture with community guilds and mentorship programs.
