About the role

Engineering Manager leading a high-performing team to scale Datadog’s security and compliance posture through automation, tooling, and GRC engineering practices, with a focus on compliance-as-code and automation of audits (SOC2, PCI, HIPAA, ISO).

Responsibilities

  • Lead the strategy, roadmap, and execution of Datadog’s commercial security compliance efforts, shifting from manual audit processes to automated, scalable platforms and methodologies.
  • Build, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of engineers and analysts, fostering technical excellence and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Partner within Information Security to operationalize a common control framework that integrates into Datadog’s architecture and processes.
  • Drive the development of internal tooling to automate evidence collection and dashboarding, reducing operational friction.
  • Define and track program metrics: control coverage, audit efficiency, and automation adoption.
  • Collaborate with broader internal engineering teams to embed compliance-by-design into infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native service adoption.

Qualifications

  • Experience leading or managing teams in security engineering, GRC, or risk management with a focus on leveraging AI to build automation and tooling for transitioning to a GRC engineering approach.
  • Strong technical background with the ability to review code (Python, Go), interpret architecture diagrams, and understand infrastructure (Kubernetes, AWS/GCP/Azure).
  • Deep understanding of the modern compliance landscape (HIPAA, SOC2, PCI, ISO 27001, FedRAMP) and experience implementing them at scale in cloud-native environments.
  • Clear communication skills to translate complex technical or regulatory requirements into plain language for engineers, leadership, and external auditors.
  • Systems-thinking mindset with ability to identify upstream root causes and downstream impacts.
  • Experience in a SaaS or cloud infrastructure company where security scale and complexity are first-order challenges.
  • Experienced people leader with mentorship, team growth, and inclusion-focused mindset.
