Ai Agent Engineer in New York

About the role: Datadog is building a product-led Competitive Intelligence function to help inform product strategy, roadmap prioritization, positioning, and competitive readiness. As the Head of Competitive Intelligence you will build and lead the CompIntel function across priority competitors and adjacent market opportunities. You will translate competitor product evolution, technical capabilities, launches, pricing value, customer sentiment, analyst narratives, and ecosystem shifts into actionable insights for Product, GTM, Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Technical Advocacy, and leadership. In this highly technical, hands-on leadership role, you should understand how observability products are implemented, where workflows differ, what technical claims are credible, and how product gaps translate into customer impact. What You'll Do: Own the recurring competitive radar for Datadog’s priority competitor set, including taxonomy, source standards, evidence quality, and update cadence. Produce competitive deep dives, feature-gap analyses, early-warning briefs, and opportunity assessments tied to specific product domains and leadership questions. Translate CompIntel findings into roadmap recommendations, product differentiation hypotheses, and Product-facing decision guidance. Build and maintain a central CompIntel repository with competitor profiles, source notes, comparison frameworks, evidence logs, and decision-ready briefs. Convert validated findings into GTM-ready handoffs for battlecards, objection handling, strategic deal narratives, and field enablement. Synthesize signals from Product, Engineering, Sales Engineering, Customer Success, field teams, technical communities, Advocacy programs, win/loss, customer feedback, analyst research, public competitor materials, and CABs. Partner with Product Management to frame competitive questions, identify decision criteria, and connect findings to roadmap and prioritization discussions. Partner with Tec

About 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—trillions of data points per day—providing always-on alerting, metrics visualization, logs, and application tracing for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way. The Opportunity: Datadog’s Senior Staff Engineers are technical leaders operating at the forefront of large-scale systems design, building the infrastructure that will support our next five years of growth and beyond. They do this in three major ways: As individual contributors, they bring world-class technical depth to build industry-leading systems in areas such as observability data platforms, distributed query engines, and real-time event streaming at global scale. As technical leaders, they apply broad architectural perspective and deep systems thinking to align design decisions across teams and domains. They work across complex, multi-team problem spaces to define long-term technical direction, drive large-scale initiatives forward, and ensure consistent execution. As engineering stewards, they play a key role in evolving our systems and engineering culture. They actively participate in Datadog’s senior technical community, bringing external insights and internal experience to elevate engineering standards and mentor the next generation of technical leaders. Examples of projects a Senior Staff Engineer may lead include designing and launching a new distributed data storage engine capable of handling hundreds of millions of records per second, building the real-time infrastructure behind a new observability product, or re-architecting a core service to support exponential growth in throughput and complexity. What You’ll Do: Be the technical owner of multiple critical systems or architecture areas, often spanning several t

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
