Security Engineer II - Vulnerability Lifecycle

Here at Datadog, we think about Vulnerability Management a little bit differently. We embrace open source software, and recognize our role in the software supply chain. We also see how attackers are weaponizing vulnerabilities faster than ever before. That’s why we’re looking for a Security Engineer who can help us scale and improve our overall vulnerability management lifecycle, and take an AI-first approach to addressing vulnerability risk.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds, and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
