Earlier quoted context omitted.

Free feedback: I applied a few weeks back to a position, and was rejected. In the application form you ask for someone to write why they want to work at Figma. Maybe a fair question, although I think it's something saved for a f2f interview, as it takes time to think about that and write something meaningful to try to stand out. Then I get a generic rejection e-mail. As with everyone. Fair enough. But if I had to wri…

I can help explain based on experience. It's likely because you lost out to someone cheaper and more skilled. Any company in the world operates on the business principle of spending the least amount of money to make the greatest profit. So there was probably someone considered smarter and cheaper

How do they know I'm not "cheaper"? That conversation doesn't happen straight up, nor did I volunteer salary expectations in the application, nor was I outside of the advertised range.

All I mean is, the application process is disheartening. It's an employers market, I get it, but what would be nice is to get ACTUAL subjective feedback, even if it were something like, "not enough cloud experience" that could help me re-calibrate. I took time to write how much I love their product and wanted to be a part of the team, it took likely all of 5 seconds to click the reject button on the behalf of the HR or hiring manager. That's fine, but where is my feedback? Or was I rejected for some invisible requirement box which isn't checked?

As for someone smarter, well... I don't know about you, but that's a hard thing to discern from just a CV, that's usually something you get in a conversation. Experience is what you get from a CV, and mine is phenomenal. My experience is so heavy, light bends around it. However, I'm not assuming I will get any job I apply for, my ego is destroyed, it doesn't exist. I'm all humility, and never feel worthy of anything. I'm ok loosing out on someone more experienced. Just tell me that, and tell me what I'm not experienced in. Maybe it's something I was thinking I need to invest myself into more.

Sorry, not trying to be argumentative here, just reflecting my frustrations. As stated, 2023 sucks and I have this fear it's going to get far worse before it's any better in the tech sector for potential candidates.

Huh I was not expecting to find something that matched the work environment I was looking for, so much gung-ho mania out there. A couple of my friends worked at Wonderbly, which at first glance looks to be a similar business model & is similarly swell in terms of culture & ethics. I'll shoot over an application.

Hey, I suggest you contact DataDog engineers on LinkedIn, express your interest and ask them if they would accept to take 15min to answer a list of questions you have (people have a higher chance to respond positively if they see you are prepared and need them for a specific purpose).

Out of curiosity, what skills or experience are your recruiters optimizing for while reviewing resumes?

Having a decade of experience and nearly 100% match with a fullstack job description (even down to microservices/event-driven systems) and getting a rejection without even a screening call means I either presented myself poorly or there's something else they're looking for that might not be advertised (or emphasized). In either of those situations, I would appreciate even a hint so I could improve my odds in the future, because rejections are getting tiring.

It would be helpful to mention to which regions "remote" apply to; it's not very clear from either this post or your listing (I think it may be US)?

Sorry for the delayed response. Remote means anywhere in the world as we are a fully remote company. A lot of teammates are in the US, however, a good number of our team is outside of the US.
