Senior Technical Curriculum Developer, Engineering Enablement

Datadog • New York, NY

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

As a Senior Technical Curriculum Developer on the Product and Engineering Enablement team, you will build upon existing internal programs and create new programs that empower Datadog employees with the skills, mindsets, practices and sense of community needed to build and deliver best-in-class software. Our team builds robust, scalable, and standardized programs focused on product and technology knowledge where everyone, regardless of their team or location, has an equitable experience and relevant enablement paths.
You will curate and create educational resources for Software Engineers, Product Managers, Product Designers, and Data Analysts. You’ll work together with our other curriculum developers who have built existing courses. You’ll also work independently with internal subject matter experts to maintain and create new hands-on experiences that introduce Datadog engineers to how we develop software, use our tooling, and interact with source code repositories. You’ll support the development of ongoing courses that introduce new software, processes, and tooling across the organization. These topics include technical tools and collaborative workflows such as service mesh, deployment pipelines, and code review. You’ll build courses for other roles around the company, including engineering managers and product managers.
Although this is a well established role, there are many opportunities to define and improve upon workflows, curriculum, and overall effectiveness of the program. You should be comfortable owning projects with many opinionated stakeholders where you will define both success and the means to get there.
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.
