At Datadog, we're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams. We operate at high scale, enabling seamless collaboration and problem-solving among Dev, Ops, and Security teams globally for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.
APM at Datadog is on its way to redefine how users interact with their telemetry. We are integrating intelligence directly into troubleshooting workflows to help engineers find root causes faster, navigate complex distributed systems seamlessly, and optimize application performance with minimal cognitive load. APM provides deep visibility from end-user interactions to backend services and we are now expanding this foundation with new AI-driven insights, guidance, and automation.
As a Senior Product Manager for APM, you will own product strategy and drive execution across Distributed Tracing, Performance Analysis, and Intelligent Troubleshooting. You will set direction for a critical area of the roadmap, work closely with senior engineering and design leadership, and influence how APM evolves across the broader observability platform. You'll be relied on to make sound, independent product judgment calls with limited oversight, mentor other product managers, and represent APM in cross-org and executive conversations.
At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
What you will Do:
• Own the product strategy and long-term vision for a core area of APM, grounded in deep understanding of customers, their performance challenges, telemetry workflows, and the competitive landscape
• Lead strategic conversations with design partners and key customers to uncover complex performance issues, validate product bets, and guide solutions from early prototypes through General Availability
• Define and drive delivery of the next generation of APM features with engineering and design leadership, especially agentic onboarding and the out-of-the-box experience, AI-driven troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis
• Make complex performance data, traces, and systems behavior understandable and actionable, even for engineers who are new to observability
• Set direction across engineering, design, and partner PM teams by framing ambiguous problems clearly, driving alignment on trade-offs, and delivering seamless cross-product experiences and unified investigative workflows
• Partner with marketing, sales, customer success, support, and other cross-functional groups to define and lead Go-To-Market strategy for your product area
• Mentor and provide guidance to other product managers, raising the bar for product craft and customer-centric thinking across the team
• Own adoption, retention, and business impact metrics for your product area, and communicate progress and strategy to senior leadership and executives
Who you are:
• You have +5 years of experience as a Product Manager, ideally working on a developer-focused SaaS or infrastructure product, with a track record of owning a product area end to end
• You have experience leading production-level AI projects, from conception through launch and iteration, ideally involving ML-driven insights, automated workflows, or intelligent guidance in complex systems
• You have prior engineering experience or deep expertise in modern software development and distributed systems
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills, and are comfortable presenting to and influencing senior and executive stakeholders
• You are highly customer-focused, detail-oriented, and committed to high quality standards
• You thrive in fast-moving, high-growth environments and enjoy both scaling mature products and building new ones from the ground up
• You have experience mentoring or informally guiding other product managers
• You enjoy using AI to explore ideas, quickly prototype, and validate with customers to shape the roadmap
• Bonus: Experience with cloud applications, distributed tracing, performance analysis, microservices, or profiling technologies; fluency in programming languages
Datadog values people from all walks of life. We know not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you're passionate about technology and want to grow your experience, we encourage you to apply.
