- Reduce the attack surface of Datadog's client-facing software by mitigating build and supply chain risks.
- Build provable integrity mechanisms throughout the entire supply chain, working from source management systems out through to node level configuration in Datadog’s compute.
- Represent Datadog in the open source software supply chain security community.
Who You Are:
- Proven track record of designing and coding systems that help secure the software supply chain and SDLC systems, and are leveraged by multiple teams.
- Track record of successfully driving security initiatives with leadership and engineering buy-in.
- Dedication to staying current with the latest security best practices, technologies, and emerging threats.
- You are fluent in one or more modern coding languages (Python, Go, etc.).
- You are able to work closely with engineering and DevOps teams to integrate security seamlessly into the development process.
- You are familiar with securing public distribution channels (e.g., PyPI, NPM, Dockerhub, ECR/GCR/ACR registries) and Kubernetes-based development.
- You want to work in an environment with exciting challenges and opportunities to make an impact.
Bonus points:
- Passionate about building products that engineers love and believe in the true outcome of DevSecOps.
- Knowledge in or interest of Generative AI and LLM usage in the security space
- Knowledgeable of cryptography protocols such as GPG or TUF and security frameworks such as slsa.
