Datadog's Engineering Internship Program

What's this blog post about?

Every autumn, Datadog recruits aspiring software developers, product managers, and designers for its Engineering Internship Program. The program provides interns with the opportunity to work on meaningful projects, learn from industry leaders, and build professional relationships. Despite being fully remote due to the pandemic, Datadog is now offering the option for interns to join them at offices worldwide. The primary goal of the internship program is to create a supportive learning environment where interns can hone their skills. Interns participate in weekly one-on-one sessions with managers, mentors, and buddies, and they have access to colleagues throughout the week for guidance or casual conversation. The high-growth nature of Datadog enables interns to make a significant impact on the product while learning from experienced professionals at the forefront of innovation. Interns are treated like full-fledged employees and contribute to features used by thousands of customers daily. They work alongside seasoned engineers, learn how to handle pressure, escalate incidents when necessary, and investigate root causes with confidence. Interns also have the opportunity to work on custom solutions due to Datadog's scale, which is unique in the industry. Interns participate in various social events, such as lunches, hangout sessions, outings, and fireside chats with leaders, allowing them to meet new people and build lasting relationships. These events also provide opportunities for interns to interact with senior leadership. Datadog offers highly competitive salaries and benefits packages to its interns, providing the equipment and guidance they need to be successful. Many graduates from the program receive full-time job offers, with some even growing into leadership roles within the company. Datadog is currently seeking talented interns to join their Engineering Internship Program for the next phase of their journey.
