DatadogNew York, New York, United States · Posted 2 months agoDescription
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 Product Manager II for APM, you will work with world-class engineers, designers, and partner product teams to shape the future of Distributed Tracing, Performance Analysis, and Intelligent Troubleshooting. You will help build advanced capabilities that scale to thousands of customers and make sophisticated observability workflows accessible to every engineer, from experts to beginners.
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:

Develop a deep understanding of APM customers, their performance challenges, telemetry workflows, and competitors
-
Lead conversations with design partners and strategic customers to uncover real-world performance issues, validate product assumptions, and guide solutions from early prototypes through General Availability
-
Define and deliver the next generation of APM features with engineering and design, 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
-
Drive discussions with engineers, design and other PM teams by providing clearly articulated problem statements to deliver seamless cross-product experiences and unified investigative workflows
-
Partner with marketing, sales, customer success, support, and other cross-functional groups to define Go-To-Market for your features
-
Track adoption, retention and measure impact for your product and iterate rapidly based on data and customer conversations
Who you are:
-
You have 3-5 years of experience as a Product Manager, ideally working on a developer-focused SaaS or infrastructure product
-
You have experience working on 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 and defending product decisions to cross functional 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 enjoy using AI to explore ideas, quickly prototype and then validate with customers to shape the roadmap
-
Bonus: Experience with cloud applications, distributed tracing, performance analysis, microservices or profiling technologies; fluency in programming languages
