Senior Software Engineer - Bazel Tools - Remote

Overview

The Bazel Tools team enables ~1,500 Datadog developers to build, test, and package millions of lines of Go, Python, Java, Rust, and TypeScript in our backend monorepo. Our success is measured by their productivity and satisfaction. They use the tools that we develop and support several times a day, in both development and CI environments. We use the Bazel open source build system as a foundation. The team is growing rapidly, not only following Datadog’s growth, but also merging in other repositories. As a senior software engineer on the team, you will own projects from start to finish, both greenfield and brownfield. You will gain first-hand understanding of what Datadog developers need, and inform our roadmap.

In Short

• Invent simpler, faster, more reliable, and more efficient build, test, and packaging tools.
• Treat CI like SREs treat prod, making sure our pipelines are green and fast.
• Prepare, run, and finish complex migrations.
• Engage with the open source Bazel community as needed.

Requirements

• An expert in Bazel and/or one of the languages listed above.
• A well-rounded engineer. You must broadly understand the various types of software projects that are built, tested, and packaged with our tools.
• Both careful and fearless. The changes we make impact the velocity of hundreds of engineers. They are risky but necessary.
• User-focused. We help Datadog engineers to use the tools that we develop, and continuously improve their usability, so they don’t need our help the next time.
• Ideally, you have experience working with a large codebase.
