The Security Research Organization at Datadog conducts cutting-edge research in Cloud Security, Threat Intelligence & Research, and Detection Engineering. The team uses this research to improve the quality of Datadog's portfolio of cloud security products, partner with cloud service providers to remediate vulnerabilities, and share their findings with the community.

You'll design, architect, and lead execution for experiences and systems that get us closer to real-time understanding of how threats and vulnerabilities are emerging by unlocking Datadog's role as the security observability platform for thousands of cloud-native environments.
