The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Develop a deep understanding of the Observability Data Platform customers –: platform engineers, SREs, and product managers that own the product verticals – their infrastructure challenges, deployment topologies, and cost-to-serve trade-offs.
Define product direction across multiple ODP surfaces, including the control: plane and data layer, by articulating clear problem statements and desired outcomes, and partnering with engineering on technical approach and sequencing
Lead conversations with design partners and strategic customers to understand: real-world platform pain points, validate product assumptions, and guide solutions from early prototypes through General Availability
Develop a command of the unit economics of the platform surfaces you own and: bring that cost-profile understanding into pricing and packaging conversations in partnership with Engineering and the Director of Pricing
Anticipate and communicate market trends relating to AI-native infrastructure: patterns – including how they reshape platform engineering decisions – and translate them into actionable product direction
Drive discussions across engineering, product, and commercial-facing PMs by: providing clearly articulated problem statements to deliver seamless cross-product experiences and unified platform capabilities
What they're looking for
- Support active customer engagements by partnering with commercial-facing PMs: and contributing to executive-level conversations on architecture, value, and platform roadmap
- Track adoption and measure impact for your product areas and iterate rapidly: based on data and customer conversations
- You have 5+ years of experience as a Product Manager, ideally working on a: developer-focused SaaS platform, infrastructure, or data product
- You are a strong cross-org navigator: you read how decisions get made across engineering, product, commercial, and pricing teams; you surface the right decisions, hold the pen across organizational lines, and keep work moving when stakeholders disagree
