About the role
- Datadog is entering a new chapter in how our product looks, feels, and operates.
- Datadog is dense, technical, and used by people working through complex problems-often under real pressure.
- The challenge is not simply applying a new aesthetic.
Responsibilities
- Co-develop Datadog's next visual direction by applying and stress-testing it across representative product journeys.
- Hold the visual quality bar across work you don't own, and align teams around it.
- Partner deeply with Product Design, Design Systems, and engineering to turn successful concepts into durable system guidance and implementation.
- Create clear artifacts, pilots, and narratives that help teams adopt the direction and raise the product quality bar.
- Influence stakeholders across design, engineering, product, and executive partners.
- You're product-native. You understand how visual design and product design act on each other in practice.
- This is a hands-on product design leadership role for someone who combines strong visual judgment with deep product and systems thinking.
- You'll work alongside visual designers, motion designers, product designers, Design Systems, and Engineering to ensure the new direction changes how Datadog works-not just how it looks.
Requirements
- You have 12+ years of experience in product and/or visual design.
- Your craft is elevated, and you can execute it yourself at a high bar.
- You use visual language to clarify an experience, and you can say why a decision improves it.
Compensation
- $204,000 - $255,000 USD
Benefits
- New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
- Free, global mental health benefits for employees and dependents age 6+

Company info
- You will report directly to the Design Director and work as part of a small, focused team defining the future state before it scales across hundreds of designers and engineers.
- Our Design Lab is defining a new visual direction for the platform, and we're looking for a Senior Staff Visual Product Designer to help turn that direction into a coherent product experience.
