We're a new team building AI-assisted tools to make developers more effective, by autonomously generating tests, fixing bugs, and improving performance.
We're looking for a product-minded generalist to help us quickly define and ship products that make all of our customers 10x developers.

  • Rapidly design and prototype open-ended, full stack features. Iterate quickly with early adopters, learn what works, and productionize it
  • Work with other Datadog teams to expand capabilities, for example integrating with the Datadog IDE extensions to deliver a CoPilot-like assistant, or Dynamic Instrumentation to collect more runtime data from production and pre-production environments


Who You Are:

  • You're passionate about Generative AI and its ability to help software engineers be more productive. Bonus points if you keep up with the latest LLM developments and research
  • You ship fast, route around blockers, and are comfortable working with ambiguity
  • You love talking with users
  • You're happy to jump into any part of the stack and do whatever's needed to move a project forward
  • You have great product taste
  • You may have been a founder or early builder at a startup
