The Datadog Agent is the first point of contact for every Datadog customer, and most Datadog products rely on the agent to collect the data needed to power their features. When customers install the agent on their infrastructure, it begins to collect data that can then be queried, displayed in dashboards, used for alerting and all the other features Datadog’s platform offers. Developing a best-in-class user experience for Datadog Agent is essential to our business. The Agent Builds and Releases Team is crucial to that effort.
The Agent Builds & Releases team is responsible for developing agent package builds that are fast, correct, reproducible, reliable, and auditable. The team also ensures all agents have a small footprint and respect the conditions of distribution from the third-party software we depend on.
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.
