Datadog SQL (DDSQL) and Sheets are two of the newest products within Graphing, Datadog’s most-used product area. Together, they give customers flexible ways to query, combine, analyze, visualize, and share data across Datadog. This role owns the product direction and user experience for both products. Your goal is to help users move from raw data to trustworthy answers quickly—whether they prefer writing SQL, working in a spreadsheet, or building visual analyses. Doing this well requires more than adding analytical features. Real-world analysis involves nuanced decisions about data models, joins, aggregations, time windows, missing data, query performance, and the transition from exploration to reusable work. You’ll work closely with design and engineering to make these capabilities understandable without limiting their analytical power. You’ll also help expand the data customers can analyze in Datadog, including third-party and business data alongside operational telemetry. This will make DDSQL and Sheets central analytical tools for a broader range of questions and users. What you'll do: Own DDSQL and Sheets end to end: roadmap, adoption, and growth strategy Partner closely with design to establish a high bar for information architecture, interaction design, and visual polish across complex analytical workflows Use product analytics and customer research to identify friction, improve onboarding, and measure whether users are reaching useful answers faster Define the experience for querying, transforming, visualizing, and sharing data, from query composition and results exploration to errors, performance feedback, and collaboration Define and execute the strategy for bringing third-party data into Datadog: from market research and use-case definition through pricing Expand Datadog SQL from a standalone editor into a platform-wide query capability on all graphs Redesign how users discover and get started with Graphing products: rethink list pages, build onboa
