As a Senior Platform Security Engineer at Datadog, you will partner across the organization to secure the infrastructure and application components of the Datadog platform. Working within the Platform Security organization, you'll build solutions that address systemic security risks, making the secure path easier and the insecure path harder.
Your responsibilities will include solving challenging cloud infrastructure and application security problems, starting with core building blocks and golden paths. You'll enable engineers to build and ship secure solutions quickly while building and extending Datadog's Platform Security solutions. You'll leverage and influence the direction of Datadog's cloud security products to secure internal infrastructure and provide feedback that improves products for both internal use and customers.
You bring a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent professional experience). You're passionate about implementing solutions to complex security problems at scale in large multi-cloud, self-managed Kubernetes environments. You have proven experience securing enterprise SaaS applications, including authentication flows, authorization patterns, and API input validation. You've demonstrated expertise in securing deployment and management mechanisms for software and infrastructure changes.
You're familiar with security frameworks like OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, PASTA/STRIDE, and CIS. You have a software engineering background with hands-on code review experience in Go, Python, or Rust. Experience with Kubernetes PKI and network technologies (Consul, Envoy, Cilium, Vault, Istio) is expected, along with proficiency in at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) and Kubernetes. You work both independently and collaboratively in fast-paced, high-growth environments and stay updated with modern security best practices and emerging threats.
