Arun Parthiban is a Software Engineer at Datadog based out of NYC, working on the Cross-Product Queries team, where he builds query systems for Datadog's storage infrastructure. Previously, he was part of Datadog's Task Platform team, developing queues and schedulers. Arun has been with Datadog for 4 years.
Engineering career levels vary widely across the industry, making it difficult to understand what different roles truly entail. In this talk, Arun Parthiban, a Senior Engineer based in NYC with four years at Datadog and Matko Medenjak, a Senior Engineering Manager, will provide an inside look at what it means to be a Senior Engineer here. They’ll share real examples of how Senior Engineers drive technical and organizational impact. Additionally, Matko will share practical insights into the key skills and qualities Datadog seeks in Senior Engineer candidates through his experience as a hiring manager and interviewing dozens of candidates.
Etienne has been working at Datadog in the Synthetics team for the past 5 years. He finds it interesting there thanks to the challenges of scaling an infrastructure to run tests all over the globe, and accommodating the quirks of the sometime exotic various implementations of the web specifications. Before that, he was a freelance web performance engineer and frontend developer. Also, he has a PhD involving infrastructure scalability and software maintainability.
A few years ago, the Datadog Synthetics team faced a major incident: severe lock contention when updating our primary database table. It took an entire weekend of intense mitigation to restore stability.
In this talk, we’ll share key lessons from this and other incidents, along with the architectural changes we made to prevent recurrence.
Datadogs solve tough problems, innovate pragmatically, and grow together.
