## Description

As the Engineering Manager for Commercial Audit at Datadog, you will lead a high-performing team responsible for scaling the company's security and compliance posture through automation, tooling, and engineering excellence.

The GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) function at Datadog is a critical partner to the broader Security and Engineering organizations, ensuring that the company not only meets rigorous global regulatory standards but does so in a way that is efficient, scalable, and integrated into its cloud-native infrastructure.

You will manage a team of engineers and analysts who are transitioning to a GRC engineering direction to treat compliance as a software problem, leveraging AI, custom tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native services to turn complex regulatory requirements into actionable, automated controls.

Key responsibilities include:

- Leading the strategy, roadmap, and execution of Datadog's Commercial Audit initiatives

- Building, mentoring, and growing a high-performing team of engineers and analysts

- Partnering with Information Security to operationalize a common control framework that integrates seamlessly into Datadog's architecture and processes

- Driving the development of internal tooling to automate evidence collection and dashboarding

- Defining and tracking program metrics, including control coverage, audit efficiency, and automation adoption

- Collaborating with broader internal engineering teams to embed compliance-by-design into infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native service adoption

The ideal candidate will have:

- Experience leading or managing teams in security engineering, GRC, or risk management with a focus on leveraging AI to build automation and tooling

- A strong technical background with the ability to review code (Python, Go), interpret architecture diagrams, and understand infrastructure (Kubernetes, AWS/GCP/Azure)

- A deep understanding of the modern compliance landscape (e.g., HIPAA, SOC2, PCI, ISO 27001, FedRAMP) and experience implementing them at scale in cloud-native environments

- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical or regulatory requirements into plain language

- A systems-thinking mindset, with a focus on mentorship, team growth, and inclusion

Datadog offers a competitive salary and equity package, with a reasonably estimated yearly salary range of $192,000-$240,000 USD. The company also provides a comprehensive benefits package, including healthcare, dental, parental planning, and mental health benefits, a 401(k) plan and match, paid time off, fitness reimbursements, and a discounted employee stock purchase plan.
