  • Develop tools, systems, and processes to advance Datadog's capabilities in security incident response. Communicate operational metrics clearly to stakeholders.
  • Lead post-incident analyses to ensure that learnings from security incidents are captured, promoting blameless and actionable postmortems. Ensure follow-up actions address systemic issues and prevent future occurrences.
