• Create a development ecosystem that enables rapid experimentation and deployment of algorithms
• Stay on the cutting edge of development in the MLOps domain and document best practices to share across teams
• Drive the technical growth of Machine Learning as a distributed capability at Datadog, spanning all product areas, as well as leverage DD’s knowledge in observability to contribute back to the MLOps community

Who You Are:
