About the Team

Eppo, now part of Datadog, is building the experimentation platform that powers the world’s most innovative companies—including Coinbase, Perplexity, and DraftKings. Our team of experimenters helps organizations run trustworthy, high-velocity experiments that drive real business outcomes.

You’ll be at the forefront of shaping how the world’s leading companies run experiments at scale.
