About the role

It's a fast-moving space with few established patterns, which gives this team real room to define what best-in-class looks like.
Trusted globally by Fortune 500 companies and high-growth AI leaders, Datadog enables businesses to move faster with clarity and confidence.

Responsibilities

Drive end-to-end product experiences across Agent Observability, GPU Monitoring, and Agent Console, ensuring coherence across the three surfaces
Prototype and ship directly in code where it has the most impact, to demonstrate direction and quality, not as a substitute for the team's own execution
Lead and coach a team of four designers, raising their craft, product thinking, and fluency building with AI-native tools
Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to shape strategy, prioritization, and roadmap direction
Set and maintain a high bar for design quality across all output, including interaction design, visual design, coded prototypes, and user testing, and lead design critiques within the domain
10+ years in product design roles, with 3+ years in a design management or leadership position
Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end product design ownership and deep domain expertise in at least one complex area
able to partner effectively with senior-level PMs and Engineers
This team owns what it takes for an organization to trust the AI it runs in production, from the GPU infrastructure that trains and serves models, to the agents and LLM systems built on top of it, to the cost and return those systems deliver to the business.
As Senior Design Manager, you'll lead a team of four designers across these three connected product areas, going deep enough on the domain (AI training and development workflows, evaluations, GPU infrastructure, agent debugging) to raise the quality bar, sharpen the product point of view, and mentor the team already doing this work.

Requirements
