## About the role

Datadog's Cloud FinOps team answers a question the business runs on: what does each product and each customer actually cost us to serve? Finance uses this team's output to close Datadog's books, Product uses it to compare cost to serve against what a customer pays, and engineering leaders use it to catch cost movements before they compound. As the Engineering Manager for this team, you'll own delivery across the runtime pipeline, coverage onboarding, and cost-to-customer identity mapping.

## What they're looking for

- An engineering leader with experience managing data platform or data engineering teams building batch and pipeline systems judged on correctness and reproducibility
- You've shipped versioned publication with effective dates, backfill, and reproducible history
- You've held a delivery commitment with a team outside your reporting line, and you can describe what happened the first time a contract was missed
- You bring domain experience in metering, usage-based billing, cloud cost, revenue data, or financial data platforms
- You operate without a product manager in the loop on the external half of the job: you set the contracts, negotiate the boundaries, and drive the roadmap yourself
