Datadog is seeking a Commercial Sales Engineer to join its Boston office on a hybrid basis. In this role, you will partner with the sales team to articulate Datadog's value proposition and technical strategy to enterprise customers. You will deliver product demonstrations and technical presentations, conduct proof-of-concept evaluations, and help customers navigate technical challenges during the sales lifecycle.
Key responsibilities include qualifying opportunities with customers and partners, providing technical expertise to support deal closure, and serving as a bridge between the sales organization and the product team. You will have direct input into product prioritization based on customer feedback, competitive intelligence, and partner requirements. Additionally, you will support customer onboarding, troubleshoot technical roadblocks, and act as a brand ambassador.
You should have hands-on experience with DevOps monitoring and architecture tools, strong systems administration background (Windows or Linux), and demonstrated ability to deliver technical presentations to both external customers and internal stakeholders. The role requires creative problem-solving, continuous learning of new technologies, and the ability to travel up to 25% of the time to customer sites.
Datadog values diverse backgrounds and encourages applications from candidates passionate about technology who may not meet every qualification on day one. The company offers comprehensive benefits including equity (RSUs and ESPP), professional development, mentorship programs, and an inclusive workplace culture.
