Real-time bot and fraud detection for web, mobile, and API attacks
DataDome operates a multi-layered AI detection platform that blocks fraud and bot traffic in under 2 milliseconds across web, mobile, and API surfaces. The tech stack reveals a throughput-optimized architecture—Kafka, Apache Flink, Druid, and Elasticsearch for streaming analytics, paired with edge deployment via Lambda@Edge, Cloudflare, and Fastly—built to process and defend against 350+ billion attack attempts annually. Current hiring is sales-led (11 open roles) with notable pain points around customer churn, renewal rates, and sales ramp time, suggesting the product-market fit is proven but go-to-market efficiency remains a scaling challenge.
Notable leadership hires: Accounting Director
DataDome is a cloud-native bot management and fraud prevention platform founded in 2015 and headquartered in New York. The platform uses AI-driven behavioral analysis to block fraudulent and automated traffic in real time across customer websites, mobile applications, and APIs without degrading user experience. The engineering foundation is built on streaming data pipelines (Kafka, Flink, Druid) for sub-millisecond detection latency, with global edge deployment via CDN and serverless integrations. The company operates a 24/7 security operations center staffed with threat researchers. Current scale spans 51–200 employees across five continents, with active hiring in the US, Canada, Germany, France, India, and the Philippines.
DataDome uses a multi-layered AI engine with thousands of adaptive models that analyze user intent rather than identity alone. Detection runs on Apache Kafka for streaming ingestion, Apache Flink for real-time processing, Elasticsearch and Druid for analytics, and deploys to edge nodes via AWS Lambda@Edge, Cloudflare, and Fastly for sub-2-millisecond blocking latency.
DataDome is actively recruiting in six countries: the United States, Canada, Germany, France, India, and the Philippines. Leadership roles include an Accounting Director position.
