Staff Ux Researcher Jobs

As a Staff Product Manager on Datadog's Observability Data Platform (ODP) , you will lead product management for a portfolio of foundational platform bets — work that changes the cost structure and capability of the platform itself, not the cost of any single feature. Among ODP’s portfolio of engineering work are efforts to bring the platform's unit cost down meaningfully each quarter, plus a slate of architectural bets aimed at order-of-magnitude cost reduction over the longer horizon. The work you'll lead reshapes how Datadog ingests, routes, and exposes telemetry value to customers — and is foundational to how every product team in Datadog's ecosystem will think about telemetry economics going forward. This role reports to the Group Product Manager of ODP. What You'll Do: Set product direction across foundational platform bets by defining problems and desired outcomes, partnering with engineering to determine slices of work that drive value in phases for users and the business. Collaborate on the long-term cost-and-value architecture of the platform — how value-aware telemetry, innovative data engines, and customer-facing cost stories fit together over multiple quarters. Develop and defend sizing and impact estimates for large, diffuse programs — credibly produce the analysis that engineering leadership and pricing partners need to make resourcing and prioritization calls. Anticipate and communicate market trends in telemetry economics and agentic observability and how they shape platform investment. Develop deep understanding of cost-to-serve by partnering with engineering on the unit economics of the data platform and bring that cost-profile understanding into collaborative discussions with product verticals about customer-facing trade-offs. Surface the customer-positive angles in cost work that engineering-led optimization tickets don't currently make visible. Deliver concise written and verbal communication to executive, engineering, and customer audien

MongoDB is hiring a Staff Product Marketing Manager to build and own our go-to-market narrative for the Public Sector vertical, with a focus on Federal Government and the broader public sector market. This is a foundational hire for MongoDB’s Industry Verticals product marketing function: you will define how MongoDB’s unified data platform, spanning cloud, on-premises, and hybrid database deployments with integrated, production-ready AI capabilities, shows up for government buyers. You’ll turn a major compliance milestone into a durable competitive differentiator: developing the positioning, messaging, and sales-ready content that helps government agencies, systems integrators, and cloud/public-sector resellers understand why MongoDB is the right data platform for mission-critical, regulated workloads. You do not need prior government or public-sector work experience to succeed in this role — you need to be an excellent product marketer who can get fluent in a new domain quickly and partner closely with the compliance, product, and sales experts who already are. This role can be based in one of our MongoDB hub offices in the U.S. or remotely in the U.S. What you’ll do Own positioning and messaging for MongoDB’s Public Sector go-to-market, leading the federal GTM and launch related activities Translate MongoDB’s data platform capabilities — document database, search, vector search, stream processing, and integrated AI — into mission-relevant outcomes and value propositions for government buyers and the systems integrators who serve them Partner with Compliance, Security, Industry Solutions and Product teams to accurately represent related certification requirements in external-facing content, staying current as MongoDB pursues additional authorizations (e.g., DoD Impact Levels) Build the public sector sales enablement toolkit: battlecards, pitch decks, discovery guides, ROI/value models, and competitive intelligence tailored to federal buying processes and procuremen

We’re hiring a Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager to lead positioning, messaging, and product adoption across our AI and agentic context solutions. This is a high-impact role for a technical marketer who thinks and acts like a builder. Most AI systems don't fail because the model is bad—they fail because they lack a crucial, contextual foundation. MongoDB owns a piece of nearly every step in that chain. This role requires deep technical expertise across the context stack—including VoyageAI embedding and reranking models, MCP Server, and the coding agent ecosystem (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex, etc.)—combined with product marketing instincts to deeply understand the market and translate technical depth into crisp, differentiated messaging for distinct user and buyer personas. The ideal candidate has experience building and shipping AI-enabled products and using developer tools in their day-to-day workflows. Individuals with prior experience in technical sales, developer relations, or software development are encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate is a voracious consumer of AI research and pays close attention to shifting patterns in how software and AI applications are built and consumed. This individual is confident in communicating with technical practitioners and non-technical decision makers in one-to-few and one-to-many engagements for internal and external audiences. You will leverage your technical depth to craft clear, compelling, and highly differentiated messaging by working backward from customer requirements. We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Dublin for our hybrid working model. What You’ll Do Drive Strategy & Execution: Act as the strategic owner for MongoDB’s context engineering portfolio—MCP Server, Agent Skills, VoyageAI, and more— aligning roadmap and go-to-market with MongoDB’s long-term business goals, in collaboration with Product Management, Engineering, Developer Relations, Partn
