Salary range: $225k - $300k | Equity: 0.15% - 0.35% | In-Person: NYC About Datalab Datalab trains models that read documents reliably at scale. The world's most important information is trapped in PDFs, scans, and files that can't easily be parsed, and getting it out correctly matters. From frontier AI labs processing training data to Fortune 500s like Siemens extracting decades of engineering records, Datalab is where businesses turn to when extraction has to be right. We’re at an 8-figure run rate with a team of 7. Anthropic is a customer. And we have hundreds more across FAANG, frontier AI labs, healthcare, finance, government, and legal. Our tools, Chandra, Surya, Marker, and Lift, have 70,000+ GitHub stars and broad developer mindshare. We're backed by founding members of OpenAI, FAIR, and Hugging Face. Role Overview We’re looking for a fullstack engineer who wants to build the interfaces, tools, and infrastructure that help developers and enterprises use our models. You’ll work across the stack to shape how people interact with OCR, extraction, and document-understanding systems. That includes building core inference workflows, creating intuitive UI for complex parsing tasks, and improving the developer experience across our open-source repos and API. This is a high-ownership role that blends engineering, product thinking, and community engagement. You will work closely with the founders and the rest of the team to ship features, improve performance, and make our technology accessible to a global community of builders. As a small and fast-moving team, roles are fluid. You should enjoy working across backend, frontend, performance, and user-facing surfaces. Your work will directly influence how teams evaluate and deploy our models. Day to day, you will: Ship features to our open source repos, API, and internal tooling. Design and build frontend features that make document parsing more interactive and understandable. Optimize inference performance and improve th

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. Feature flags used to be simple on/off switches. That's changing fast. Flags are becoming a control plane: they're tied to observability, they drive rollout decisions, and AI agents build and run more of this work every day. Datadog is building the platform for that future, and we are now expanding our Feature Flagging & Experimentation product to pair flag decisions directly with observability signals and to modernize the flagging workflow for an SDLC increasingly run by agents. As a Senior Product Manager for Feature Flagging, you will own product strategy and drive execution across flags-plus-observability integration and agentic-era flagging workflows. You will set direction for a critical area of the roadmap, work closely with the observability, RUM, and APM teams, and report directly to the Director of Product leading this team. You'll be relied on to make sound, independent product judgment calls with limited oversight, bring engineering credibility to every decision, and drive B2B go-to-market strategy alongside sales.
