Software Engineer - Alerting Platform Automation (Lisbon) Lisbon, Portugal;
At Datadog, we process millions of monitors every minute, alerting our customers when configured thresholds are crossed. Engineers across the world trust us to alert them when necessary, so our Alerting stack needs to be reliable and scalable.
The Alerting Platform Automation team's main goal is to ensure our development team can code, build and deploy safely and reliably. We design and operate automation systems that can reproduce manual actions, reducing the toil as much as possible.
We measure and test our applications, ensuring they are running correctly and efficiently. We develop tooling to help our team and our users to better manage our platform, removing any friction whenever possible.

You are a team-player, able to work easily with your team members or people from other development teams.
