NOTE: This is not a traditional marketing role, it's a growth role that reports into the Product org.
We're hiring someone to build our developer audience the way the best consumer brands build audiences, with a real voice, a point of view, and the speed to act on both. You'll own where and how we show up in the places developers actually spend time, run our developer social channels, expand into new ones, and build the tooling and measurement behind it.
This is a builder role, not simply a coordination role.
What You'll Do:
- Own the voice, editorial standard, and publishing cadence for Datadog's developer channels (@datadogdevs on X, Datadog Developers on LinkedIn)
- Treat replies as a primary surface. The best accounts win in the mentions, not the feed
- Expand into the places developers actually spend time: Reddit, YouTube, Discord, Bluesky, dev.to, Hacker News, and whatever you make the case for. Always openly as Datadog — developers catch anything else immediately, and you only get caught once
- Turn shipped engineering work into things people want to read and watch. Releases, changelogs, war stories, the occasional postmortem that deserves a wider audience
- Build the attribution model connecting what you publish to trials and signups. Nobody is handing you this one
- Run real experiments: a hypothesis, a readout, and the willingness to kill something publicly when it doesn't work
- Lead the developer content engine around events
- Get other people posting — Datadog engineers under their own names, and developers outside the company who already like us and could use the support
- Track what developers are saying about us and our competitors, and route it back to product and growth
Who You Are:
- You've grown an audience from a small number to a large one
- You can point to outcomes your content moved, not just reach
- You're a strong writer with a distinctive voice, and you know the difference between writing about an audience and writing for one
- You have opinions about formats, platforms, and pacing, and you change them when the algorithms demand it
- You know what ships now and what needs a second set of eyes
- You're a vibe poster (or coder) and you know how to build hype
- You're comfortable with tools and automation, and you'd rather build a workflow than repeat a task
- You distrust vanity metrics
- Your writing doesn't get scrolled past
Background is open. Consumer, sports, entertainment, media, tech. It doesn't matter whether you came from engineering, growth, marketing, B2C, or something unrelated. Show us what you shipped and what it moved.
Preferred: short-form video you produced yourself, an existing audience of your own, prior work with a technical or enthusiast audience, comfort on camera, and ideas about what to build with other teams, partners, and integrations.
What We Provide:
This role sits in the Product org, so you'll have product and engineering peers, the flexibility to make asks, move quickly, and work directly with the audience we're trying to reach.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Social Media Lead
Align your degree to DOL requirements
PERM certification for a Social Media Lead role requires your employer to define the minimum qualifications in advance. A degree in communications, marketing, or digital media directly supports the specialty occupation argument and reduces the risk of a DOL audit or recruitment challenge.
Search employers using verified sponsorship history
Use Migrate Mate to find employers who have previously filed PERM or I-140 petitions for social media and marketing roles. Targeting companies with demonstrated green card sponsorship history shortens your path from offer to petition filing.
Request a prevailing wage determination early
Before your employer posts the PERM recruitment ads, they must obtain a prevailing wage determination from OFLC. Use the OFLC Wage Search to verify your offered wage meets or exceeds the DOL-set level for your role and work location.
Document portfolio work in terms O*NET recognizes
When your employer prepares the PERM application, job duties are compared against O*NET occupation descriptions. Frame your content strategy, analytics oversight, and cross-channel campaign leadership using language that maps to the O*NET profile for your occupation code.
Clarify your priority date before switching employers
If your I-485 has been pending 180 days or more, AC21 portability lets you move to a substantially similar Social Media Lead role at a new employer without restarting the green card process. Confirm your priority date is preserved and the occupations align before accepting any new offer.
Distinguish EB-2 from EB-3 before your employer files
EB-2 requires an advanced degree or a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience in a marketing or communications field. EB-3 applies to professionals with a bachelor's degree. The category determines your priority date and potential backlog, so confirm the correct classification with USCIS before your I-140 is filed.
Green Card Social Media Lead: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Social Media Lead role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Both categories can apply, depending on your credentials. EB-2 covers Social Media Lead candidates who hold an advanced degree in marketing, communications, or a related field, or a bachelor's degree plus at least five years of progressive experience. EB-3 applies if you hold a bachelor's degree. Your employer selects the category when filing the I-140 petition, and the choice affects your priority date and potential wait time.
How is green card sponsorship for a Social Media Lead different from H-1B sponsorship?
Green card sponsorship is permanent. Your employer files PERM labor certification with the Department of Labor, demonstrating no qualified U.S. worker is available, before filing an I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS. Unlike the H-1B visa, there is no annual lottery, but employment-based green cards have per-country numerical limits, meaning nationals from high-demand countries like India and China can face significant priority-date backlogs before they can file for adjustment of status.
What does the PERM process require for a Social Media Lead position?
Your employer must obtain a prevailing wage determination from OFLC, conduct a formal recruitment campaign to test the U.S. labor market, and document that no qualified U.S. workers applied or were rejected without lawful cause. The job duties posted during recruitment must match what appears in the PERM application exactly, so the role description should reflect your actual day-to-day responsibilities, including content strategy, platform analytics, and team leadership.
How do I find employers who sponsor green cards for Social Media Lead roles?
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified PERM and I-140 filing history for marketing and social media positions, searchable by city and role. Targeting employers who have completed the PERM process before is more efficient than approaching companies with no prior sponsorship experience, since those employers already understand the DOL recruitment requirements and prevailing wage obligations specific to this occupation.
Can I change employers after my green card sponsorship is underway?
Once your I-485 adjustment of status application has been pending for 180 days or more, AC21 portability allows you to move to a new employer in a same or similar occupation without restarting the process. Your priority date from the original approved I-140 can also be carried over to a new employer's petition. Both rules require the new role to be substantially similar to the Social Media Lead position your original employer sponsored.
