How do you handle pushback from software engineers or technical leads at Datadog who disagree with your proposed project timeline or scope?
Explain how you would understand the technical concerns, assess tradeoffs, and work toward alignment without relying solely on positional authority. Address how you would respond when the disagreement involves delivery risk, product commitments, or competing priorities. Use a specific past example if possible, including your actions, the decision reached, the outcome, and what you learned.
