About the job

Leads technically complex, cross-functional programs and builds AI-powered automation to reduce coordination and deliver Datadog’s highest-priority initiatives.

  • Hands-on technical credibility in complex domains such as observability, infrastructure, data platforms, or AI/ML systems; able to engage on architecture and system design.
  • Strong senior-leadership communication and trust-building skills; active daily use of AI tools and experience building a tool, template, or automated workflow used by others.

Nice to have

  • Program experience with unit economics such as cloud cost, capacity, or margin.
