Today, everyone from PMs to Sales to SREs uses AI to query their business data - but every answer is a one-off with no governance, no consistency, and no visibility for data teams. We're building the system that fixes this: a context layer that learns from existing data tools driving high quality and consistent answers, an AI-powered query experience, full governance for data teams, and rich analysis surfaces to present and share the results. You'd be building a zero to one product of what we believe will become a major new product line for Datadog. 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 Drive the product vision and roadmap spanning the Data agent experience, the semantic/context layer, governance console, chat experience and analysis surfaces (dashboards, notebooks, sheets) Own the end-to-end product lifecycle from discovery to launch, working with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers and other PMs Deeply understand the needs of two key personas: data teams (who govern and curate) and data consumers (PMs, engineers, SREs, executives who ask questions) Design the context and governance layer that makes AI-powered analytics trustworthy - including auto-generation from existing BI tools, eval frameworks, confidence scoring, and self-improvement loops Define how observability data and business data come together to serve unique use cases Engage directly with early customers and internal dogfooding users to iterate on accuracy, usability, and trust Independently research the competitive landscape across legacy BI vendors, warehouse-native analytics, AI-first startups, and AI labs Work on the product pricing Work with GTM teams to define positioning, packaging, and the path to displacing entrenched tools Who you are 5+ years of experience

We are hiring a Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager to lead positioning and messaging and to grow adoption of MongoDB Search and Vector Search as foundational components of our platform – the retrieval layer powering the next generation of grounded AI applications and agents. This is a high-impact role for a marketer who thinks like a builder. As developers architect increasingly sophisticated systems – RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, multi-modal search experiences – retrieval has moved from an implementation detail to a core design decision. You’ll join a high-performing, globally distributed team and partner closely with Marketing, Builder Relations, Product Management, Engineering, Partners, and Sales to develop, measure, and achieve cross-functional goals. The role requires technical depth in information retrieval — lexical and vector search, hybrid approaches, embeddings, re-ranking, agentic retrieval loops, and the tradeoffs that matter in production systems — paired with the product marketing instincts to turn that depth into crisp, differentiated messaging for distinct user and buyer personas. Hands-on experience building or shipping AI-enabled products is a strong advantage. Individuals with prior experience in technical sales, developer relations, or technical marketing are encouraged to apply. This person is a voracious consumer of AI research and pays close attention to shifting patterns in application architectures and development, including agentic systems. 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. We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in the US for our hybrid working model. What You’ll Do Drive Strategy & Execution: Act as a strategic partner for high-impact initiatives that align with MongoDB’s long-term business goals in collaboration with Marketing, Developer Relations, Product
