Partner Development Lead in United States

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

Team description At Datadog, AI agents are becoming first-class consumers of observability, security, and software delivery data — from third-party coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot, to our own Bits SRE, Bits Assistant, and Bits Dev Agent. The Agentic Interfaces team owns the platform that connects these agents to Datadog: the MCP Server, the tools and retrieval surfaces agents call into, and — critically — the evaluation systems that tell us whether an agent's experience on Datadog data is actually getting better over time. This role is about that last piece. We're hiring a Staff Applied Scientist to define what "good" means for an Agentic interface at Datadog and to build the measurement systems that make it true. "Good" isn't one number — it spans answer quality, tool-selection accuracy, retrieval relevance, latency, token cost, and end-to-end agent success on real customer workflows. You'll design the evals, build the datasets, define the metrics, and partner with the AI engineers on the team to land the platform that lets every product group at Datadog ship integrations that are demonstrably better release over release. The space is full of open research questions. How do you evaluate an agent end-to-end when the trajectory is non-deterministic? How do you score tool selection when the tool catalog has hundreds of entries and grows weekly? How do you build a measurement system that catches regressions across first-party and third-party agents at once, without each team writing their own harness? If those are the problems you want to spend your time on, come build this with us. Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply. What You’ll Do: Own the evaluation strategy for Datadog's AI agent integrations. Define the metrics — offline and online, quali

We’re looking for a Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager to join our security product marketing team and help bring Datadog’s rapidly growing security offerings to market. In this high-impact role, you’ll collaborate closely with Product, Sales, Sales Engineering, and Enablement to translate complex technical capabilities into compelling narratives that drive awareness, adoption, and differentiation. As the first hire in this space, you'll own key go-to-market efforts, lead technical positioning for strategic initiatives, and mentor others on content strategy and enablement best practices. This is a unique opportunity to shape how Datadog tells its security story to a global market. 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. What You’ll Do: Define and execute the technical marketing plan for Datadog’s security product line, from launches to scaled adoption. Partner cross-functionally with Product, PMM, Sales Engineering, and Enablement to craft differentiated messaging, inform roadmap decisions, and build cross-product solution narratives. Create and deliver high-impact sales tools including battlecards, investigation flows, objection handling guides, and competitive workshops. Lead competitive strategy by synthesizing market insights and producing content that positions Datadog as a differentiated leader in cloud-native security. Act as a technical subject matter expert and trusted advisor — coaching field teams, reviewing enablement content, and influencing internal strategy. Represent Datadog in customer briefings, industry events, and webinars, serving as a go-to voice on observability and security. Who You Are: 8+ years of experience in technical product marketing, developer relations, product management, solutions engineering, or related roles in

We're looking for an Engineering Manager II to own and grow the Observability Pipelines engineering org at a pivotal moment in the product's lifecycle.

It sits at the center of a fast-consolidating market, is central to Datadog's data pipeline optimization story for Logs and Metrics customers. This is a build-and-scale opportunity: you'll grow the management and technical leadership layers, co-own the roadmap with Product, and define how this org operates as it continues to expand.

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

Datadog is reimagining alerting; we’re evolving beyond simple triggers into providing a sophisticated, AI-powered posture that covers both known and unknown risks. As the Product Manager for Notification Orchestration, you will lead the evolution of how alerts reach the right people at the right time. You will define the strategy for our notification routing engine, ensuring that thousands of businesses can manage complex alerting logic without being overwhelmed by noise. You will empower customers to move beyond managing individual monitor outputs to a world where notifications are grouped, contextualized, and reliable at massive scale. 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. What You’ll Do: Develop a comprehensive understanding of customers and the core problems behind their alerting and notification monitoring challenges. Collaborate across product teams to identify and deliver the most critical alerts and health indicators for every product area. Define, build, and launch the next generation of user experiences for managing automated alerts and configurations. Design intuitive solutions that represent alert status and system health across the entire application, providing users with at-a-glance visibility. Join an engineering team to scope, spec, and design alerting features capable of supporting the most complex, high-scale organizations Continuously evolve the product with the latest technologies, including AI tools and agents. Partner with marketing and customer success teams to help users understand and adopt new alerting frameworks and health-monitoring

This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who wants to actively shape how Engineering, one of the most important parts of how Datadog develops its people. You'll sit at the center of Datadog's biggest talent bets for Engineering: how we build leaders, define career paths and org design, evolve performance, move talent internally, and plan succession for our most critical roles. You’ll own this work end to end, from the first framing conversation with senior leaders through to delivering a program running at scale. AI is changing how Engineering builds software, and it is changing how People builds the programs that support Engineering too. This role sits at the centre of both: understanding how AI is reshaping engineering roles, skills and structures, and building AI-powered solutions within People to keep pace. 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. What You’ll Do: Design and lead complex talent programmes for Engineering, spanning leadership capability, career architecture, org design, performance, internal mobility and succession for critical roles. Partner directly with PBPs and senior leaders to turn ambiguous problems into clear programme goals, design principles and success measures. Help Engineering and People understand and respond to how AI is reshaping roles, skills and ways of working, and translate that shift into practical talent and org design choices. Stay hands-on from concept through to adoption: this is a build and run role, not a strategy and handover role. Work across Enablement, Learning, People Analytics and People Systems so what you build scales and embeds into core people processes. Equip PBPs with frameworks, tools and executive-ready narratives that support real adoption in the business. Operate in ambiguity and influe
