Role summary

Datadog is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the development of a new, AI-powered data agent product line. This role involves defining the product vision and roadmap for a context layer, AI query experience, governance console, and analysis surfaces. You will own the entire product lifecycle, from discovery to launch, collaborating with engineering, design, and other PMs. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of B2B SaaS product management experience, with a focus on data-intensive or analytics products, and possesses strong analytical skills including SQL proficiency. Experience with AI/LLM products is a significant plus. This is a zero-to-one initiative requiring an entrepreneurial mindset, comfort with ambiguity, and strong communication skills to engage with diverse stakeholders.

Today, everyone from PMs to Sales to SREs uses AI to query their business data - but every answer is a one-off with no governance, no consistency, and no visibility for data teams. We're building the system that fixes this: a context layer that learns from existing data tools driving high quality and consistent answers, an AI-powered query experience, full governance for data teams, and rich analysis surfaces to present and share the results. You'd be building a zero to one product of what we believe will become a major new product line for Datadog.

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'll do

Drive the product vision and roadmap spanning the Data agent experience, the semantic/context layer, governance console, chat experience and analysis surfaces (dashboards, notebooks, sheets)

Own the end-to-end product lifecycle from discovery to launch, working with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers and other PMs

Deeply understand the needs of two key personas: data teams (who govern and curate) and data consumers (PMs, engineers, SREs, executives who ask questions)

Design the context and governance layer that makes AI-powered analytics trustworthy - including auto-generation from existing BI tools, eval frameworks, confidence scoring, and self-improvement loops

Define how observability data and business data come together to serve unique use cases

Engage directly with early customers and internal dogfooding users to iterate on accuracy, usability, and trust

Independently research the competitive landscape across legacy BI vendors, warehouse-native analytics, AI-first startups, and AI labs

Work on the product pricing

Work with GTM teams to define positioning, packaging, and the path to displacing entrenched tools

Who you are

5+ years of experience in B2B SaaS Product Management, with at least some of it spent on data-intensive or analytics products

You have domain knowledge of business intelligence, data visualization, semantic layers, data warehouses and the modern data stack.

Strong analytical skills - you can write SQL, interpret complex data, and use data to drive product decisions

Experience with AI/LLM-powered products is a strong plus - you understand prompt engineering, evals, and the unique UX challenges of non-deterministic systems

You are AI-pilled. You live in Claude Code or Cursor, have built unique AI workflows for yourself, hack around with new tools. etc

You have a strong sense of ownership with an entrepreneurial mindset - this is a 0-to-1 product that requires someone comfortable with ambiguity and speed

Sharp communication skills with the ability to interact with technical stakeholders and executives alike.

Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or equivalent experience is a plus

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.
