Senior Software Engineer, Madrid

Senior Software Engineer We are looking for a Senior Engineer to help us take REDAPL, our Referential Data Platform, to the next level. REDAPL is Datadog’s main platform for tracking our customers’ infrastructure resources and relationships. The platform enables products where customers can understand, keep track of, and gain insights into their infrastructure related to performance, cost, security, and more. Several Datadog products use REDAPL today (for example, Cloud Security Posture Management, Resource Catalog, Cloud Cost Management, and Service Catalog) and several more are in various stages of development. Ingest and query volumes are rapidly increasing across the platform. As a Senior Engineer, you will drive and collaborate on projects both inside and outside the platform, contributing to key technical decisions relating to our data ingestion, processing, and query pipelines.

We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our employees can create a work‑life harmony that best fits them. What You’ll Do Contribute to design and drive high-priority, high-visibility projects to increase the platform’s value, resilience, and scalability across multiple teams.

Provide input on prioritizing engineering‑led initiatives in short‑ and long‑term planning and roadmaps. Collaborate with internal product teams to understand their requirements and how we plan for their product growth as they integrate and depend on REDAPL. Who You Are You have contributed to initiatives in a platform or infrastructure‑focused environment for several years. You have led impactful technical initiatives where performance, cost efficiency, ease of use, and resilience/operability are first‑order concerns. You have significant back‑end engineering experience and have built, and operated distributed systems to solve problems at a high scale. You have worked extensively with multiple types of data stores. Experience with Graph Databases such as Neo4j, Memgraph, JanusGraph, ArangoDB, Amazon Neptune or PuppyGraph is a bonus. You enjoy mentoring and coaching other engineers to become even stronger. You have a BS/MS/PhD in a Computer Science, Engineering or related scientific field or equivalent experience.
