Cloud Operations Engineer III
Function: Engineering
Reports to: Manager, Cloud Operations
Location: Remote - United States
The Cloud Operations Engineer III is a senior member of the cloud operations team, responsible for the reliability, observability, performance, and operational security of our multi-product SaaS platform. This role owns our Datadog observability practice — instrumentation standards, dashboards, SLOs, monitors, and alert routing — and leads the migration off our legacy monitoring stack.
It is an engineering role, not a ticket-queue role: the expectation is that recurring operational work gets replaced with code. The Cloud Operations Engineer III participates in on-call, incident response and is measured on fewer customer-impacting incidents, faster detection and recovery, and less manual work year over year.
The ideal candidate is a proactive problem-solver who thrives in dynamic, evolving environments and works effectively across departments to address complex challenges. They have experience partnering with cross-functional teams to understand and document requirements, then translating those needs into meaningful dashboards that improve service visibility (Observability) and support informed decision-making. They are passionate about automation, process improvement, and eliminating unnecessary manual effort. They confidently propose better approaches when opportunities for improvement arise.
