Network Engineer II

As a Network Engineer II on the Office Technology team, you will implement and support office network solutions across Datadog’s global offices. You will own well-scoped deployment and upgrade work, troubleshoot connectivity issues across LAN, WAN, and Wi-Fi, and partner with senior engineers on larger designs and cross-office initiatives.

You will collaborate closely with vendors, Facilities, AV, IT Support, Security, and Infrastructure teams to keep Datadog offices connected, reliable, and observable.

This is an IC2 role with a mix of project work and day-to-day operations. You will take ownership of clearly defined areas of the office network stack, execute production changes with care, and grow your ability to design, automate, and improve office network services with support from senior engineers. You will also use AI-assisted tools responsibly to improve troubleshooting, documentation, automation, knowledge discovery, and operational follow-through.

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

• Troubleshoot LAN, WAN, and Wi-Fi issues using structured debugging methods, packet capture, logs, and performance data
• Manage routing, VLAN, firewall, and wireless configurations following team standards and change-management processes
• Contribute to repeatable deployment patterns through templates, documentation, scripting, or infrastructure-as-code
• Monitor office network health using Datadog dashboards and other tooling, and participate in incident response and post-incident reviews
• Maintain clear documentation for designs, runbooks, deployment procedures, and operational workflows
• Collaborate with and provide network guidance to Office Technology Administrators, IT Support, Facilities, AV, Security, and Infrastructure partners
• Help maintain office network standards, hardware lifecycle plans, and operational consistency across global sites
• Apply AI-assisted tools thoughtfully to reduce operational toil, improve runbooks, summarize incidents or investigations, and make network
