Manager 2, Premier Support Engineering - Boston

We are Datadog's in-house product experts. The Technical Solutions team enables Datadog's worldwide growth by educating potential clients and ensuring that existing customers are happy and successful. Premier Support Engineers (PSEs) are primarily focused on supporting customers with any technical questions or issues related to Datadog. PSEs engage with Datadog’s Premier Customers via asynchronous technical support channels and are also involved with relationship-building cadence calls, technical troubleshooting calls, conferences, and projects. You will work directly with a team of PSEs who interface with Datadog’s Premier Customer base and be immersed in an environment where you will expand your knowledge and skill set, be challenged, and witness your contributions to Datadog, your team, and our clients.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

• Lead projects or initiatives to improve team productivity, process, or procedure.
• Collaborate with internal teams to create a best in class customer experience, own high-priority escalations, build business growth, and equip team member success.
• Foster a welcoming and productive team environment.
