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.
