About Datadog:
We're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams. We operate at high scale—trillions of data points per day—allowing for seamless collaboration and problem-solving among Dev, Ops and Security teams globally for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.
The Team:
The Revenue Data Engineering Teams designs, builds and runs the data pipelines and helper systems to accurately and in a timely manner quantify our customers’ usage across all Datadog products. This team is at the leading edge of any new product we release.
The Revenue Data Processing team builds and operates the data pipelines that does billing, and cost attribution for all Datadog products. We process terabytes of data daily to power revenue-critical systems and are at the center of every new product launch at Datadog.

You Will:
• Design and build high-throughput data pipelines for billing and cost attribution
• Drive platform improvements — latency reduction, Spark optimization, sharding, and cross-datacenter reliability
• Own root-cause investigations on billing accuracy issues in collaboration with Finance and Product teams
• Contribute to new billing features
• Work across Python and Scala, with technologies including Spark, Airflow, Trino, and Apache Iceberg
• Participate in on-call rotation and maintain a high reliability bar for production systems
• Contribute to engineering standards and help
