More about this role
The Reference Tables Access team owns the UI, MCP, APIs, and control plane that customers use to bring external data into Datadog. Reference Tables lets them use their own reference data to enrich and filter observability data without leaving the platform. The team also owns the table identity, metadata, permissions, quotas, validation, and lifecycle services behind these experiences.
Beyond the current product, the team is developing a consistent tabular abstraction that product teams can use without needing to manage the details of the underlying storage systems. This abstraction supports use cases from log enrichment and security to emerging analytical workflows built on Datadog’s internal Data Lake (ADP Lakehouse).
