Datadog is a monitoring and analytics platform. We place value in our office culture and operate as a hybrid workplace.
Responsibilities
Set product direction for a new product family by defining the problems and desired outcomes, partnering with engineering to find the narrowest first slice
Own product decisions at every stage of the loop: what signal is trustworthy enough to trigger an automated change, which opportunities rank highest, what a proposed change must contain, what evidence proves it worked
Define the autonomy ladder and its limits, from suggestion to draft to auto-opened pull request to auto-rollout, along with controls, defaults, and audit trail
Set the quality bar for a non-deterministic product: build evaluation sets with engineering, decide what "good enough to ship" means
Recruit the first design partners, sit in their triage rotations, turn learnings into the roadmap
Develop and defend sizing, impact, and cost-to-serve analysis, partnering on unit economics of inference and the data platform
Deliver concise written and verbal communication to executive, engineering, and customer audiences
Requirements
Shipped AI products, not prototypes: taken at least one AI-native product to production customers
Treat evaluation as product work: built or commissioned evaluation sets, set the bar for shipping a model or prompt change
Fluent in agent failure modes and design for non-determinism deliberately
Zero-to-one track record
Read across staff engineers, consuming product teams, sales and FinOps, marketing, and finance
Collaborative, opinionated, comfortable with ambiguity
8+ years of Product Management experience, or a track record showing Staff-level capabilities
