What You'll Do :

• Participate in emerging events, such as emerging vulnerabilities or threats, to help stakeholders understand impact on Datadog.
• Assist our security research arm in identifying new clusters of activity to hunt for in our telemetry.
• Actively coordinate with relevant information sharing communities to fast-track intelligence dissemination for the purpose of protecting Datadog, our customers and the community.
