The Windows and Mac Products team is driving Datadog’s expansion into End User Device Monitoring (EUDM) and the Digital Employee Experience (DEX) space. We are extending our observability platform to support the desktops and laptops used across enterprise environments. Our mission is to provide IT Administrators and Enterprise Ops teams with a single pane of glass to manage fleet health through robust, out‑of‑the‑box observability for Windows and macOS. We bridge the gap between hardware performance, network connectivity, and application stability by building native, low‑level telemetry tools that treat Windows and macOS as a first‑class platform. By ensuring feature parity and operational excellence across every layer of the stack, we deliver deep visibility into critical issues without requiring the deployment of additional agents or libraries.
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.
What You’ll Do:
Design, implement, and share ownership of macOS Agent‑based integrations to collect data for system, network, and security monitoring.
Leverage macOS native system technologies to design and build comprehensive observability features integrated with the macOS platform; with flexibility to evaluate and adopt the most appropriate frameworks and system capabilities.
Lead new feature development end‑to‑end, from ideation and researching Apple framework changes to implementation and deployment across diverse enterprise fleets.
Solve unique challenges at the intersection of system programming, distributed telemetry, and endpoint observability & security.
Investigate bottlenecks and write optimized, resource‑efficient software to ensure deep visibility without impacting battery life or user productivity.
Influence or drive product decisions, plan upcoming high‑impact projects, and mentor other engineers across macOS initiatives.
Who You Are:
You have 5+ years of experience building systems‑level applications and tooling, with a strong understanding of OS internals, system architecture, and runtime behavior.
