Job Description
Datadog's Cloud FinOps team answers a question the business runs on: what does each product and each customer actually cost us to serve? Finance uses this team's output to close Datadog's books, Product uses it to compare cost to serve against what a customer pays, and engineering leaders use it to catch cost movements before they compound. As the Engineering Manager for this team, you'll own delivery across the runtime pipeline, coverage onboarding, and cost-to-customer identity mapping. You'll own the contracts that Finance and platform teams depend on. The core engineering problem is reproducibility: every dollar of cloud cost is placed against the product and customer that caused it, with lineage on every result and closed periods that replay exactly. This role starts by closing a coverage gap and grows into owning the model every platform team at Datadog onboards through. At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships that it builds, the creativity it brings to the table, and the collaboration of being together. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them. What You'll Do: Lead and grow a team of engineers building the platform that allocates Datadog's cloud cost to products and customers, setting the operating rhythm across runtime and release, coverage onboarding, and identity and mapping. Own the publication contract with Finance: versioned metrics with effective dates, backfill, and reproducible history, so any closed period can be replayed on demand and trusted for close. Own the metric contracts with platform teams across Engineering, shifting cost facts to the teams that generate the cost so coverage growth stops scaling linearly with your headcount. Partner with Revenue Engineering on the cost-to-revenue identity join that turns cost data into margin per product and per customer. <li
