I applied online. I interviewed at Datadog in Nov 2025
Interview
I applied through LinkedIn and a recruiter reached out to me by email. They briefly explained that the process includes a technical online assessment and a couple of interviews, mainly covering my background, project experience, motivation for the role, and some scenario-based questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you tell me about a time when you helped solve a customer’s problem?
Hiring screen, then hiring manager interview, then final round panel consisting of 4 interviews. Recruiter was super friendly and active with helping me prepare for the different interview types - product sense, strategy, engineering manager, and system design.
