PSEs engage with Datadog’s Premier customers not only via standard technical support channels, but also get involved via cadence calls, business reviews, and side projects. You will be immersed in a fast-paced environment where you will be challenged, but will also immediately witness your contributions to Datadog and to our customers.

- Build subject matter expertise in many Datadog product areas
- Autonomously troubleshoot complex and/or high-priority customer issues without guidance
- Drive product and engineering conversations based on needs, use cases, and problems learned during client interactions
- Provide mentorship to junior members of the team and serve as their escalation partner
- Participate in routine health check meetings with Premier customers
- Build out and improve documentation and knowledge base articles for a variety of technologies
Requirements
- Experienced in multi-channel technical support at a PaaS, IaaS or SaaS company (5+ years of related experience)
- A problem-solver with experience in programming, Linux and networks. Cloud technology experience is preferred.
- Self-motivated, detail-attentive, with a desire for continuous learning
- A critical thinker who defaults to a client-centric approach
- A decision maker but knows when the decision should be escalated
- Have been in a Premium/Enterprise technical support role previously
- Knowledgeable of current infrastructure, monitoring solutions and technologies
- Able to work a rotating schedule that requires weekend availability
