The opportunity
Datadog is entering a new chapter in how our product looks, feels, and operates. 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.
What you'll do
Co-develop Datadog’s next visual direction by applying and stress-testing it: across representative product journeys.
Translate visual principles into concrete decisions about hierarchy, layout,: navigation, information architecture, interaction, and behavior.
Use visual language to clarify complex, data-dense experiences: hierarchy, density, and attention.
Hold the visual quality bar across work you don't own, and align teams around it.
Prototype, test, and refine new patterns before they become systemized.
Partner deeply with Product Design, Design Systems, and engineering to turn: successful concepts into durable system guidance and implementation.
What they're looking for
- 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 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.
