I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (Paris) in Apr 2024
Interview
1. HR call;
2. Hiring manager to know your motivations and your technical experiences;
3. Technical assessment;
4. Onsite interview(First interview with senior colleauge and hiring manager, second interview with two managers - Troubleshooting pair, they will give you 8 links about the documentation, and 5 bugs to fix on Terminal, final interview with the director.
I do suggest that candidates should dive deeper into their Datadog Agent, because they are looking for someone who is ready for the work from the first day, without any trainning)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why leaving your current company?
Why datadog?
Why this role?
I applied through LinkedIn. It did not that that long to come back to me. They reviewed my resume and cv, sent me an email to have a phone screening interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at Datadog (Seoul) in Feb 2026

I applied online, and a recruiter from Singapore reached out by email. They outlined the process as: 1. Hackerrank; 2. Interview with hiring manager (Functional background / projects / tools, Why support engineering role?); 3. Interview with other engineers on the team (Scenario based, How to handle multiple tickets, How to deal with difficult customers); 4. Live troubleshooting round (Role play how to act -- Ask questions on what they’re facing right now, Documentation provided during interview); 5. Director connect (Career goals, How datadog can help).
I applied online. I interviewed at Datadog (Ciudad de Mexico) in Feb 2026
Interview
En total son 5 entrevistas, junto con una asignación para la casa. No te confies porque a pesar de llegar a la última fase puedes ser fácilmente descartada si no respondes las preguntas del director que es quien toma la desicion final
