Databases and data stores are at the center of our customers applications, the heart of our customers’ businesses. Datadog is embarking on a journey to revolutionize how databases are operated, flipping what is often seen as a black box of complexity prone to security and performance risks, into a well oiled machine that provides not just devops, developers and dbas with insights, but the business as well.
We’re looking for an experienced product manager to lead a multifaceted product opportunity and team loaded with ambiguity and technical nuance, to accelerate this mission and this business within 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:
- Lead ambitious investments that rethink how customers operate and get value from their databases, diving into ambiguity, working with our customers on new models, and shipping new products and changes to existing products.
- Develop a deep understanding of our customers and their issues, what problems are really behind those issues, and how we can improve how databases are operationalized across SRE teams, DBAs and application developers. Continuously refine your understanding of database management systems and datastores from SQL and OLTP based to NoSQL e.g. AWS RDS, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, MySQL, etc
- Define, build and launch the next generation of database monitoring and optimization capabilities for our customers alongside an amazing engineering and design team
- Join an extremely talented engineering team with a record of groundbreaking innovations like correlation of APM and database telemetry to further the mission of demystifying databases and making optimizations actionable for anyone, using your engineers’ ideas, alongside your customers’ problems, as a key resource.
- Collaborate with other Product teams in Datadog to maintain and improve all Datadog products, improve the seamless integration across them, and help customers identify incidents root cause and navigate through telemetry faster
- Partner with marketing and cross functional teams including sales, customer success and support teams, to define Go-To-Market plans and strategy for database monitoring, data observability and APM features
- Continuously evolve the product practice and the product itself with the latest technologies, including AI tools and agents
