## About the role

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 employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

## What they're looking for

- Experienced engineering manager with a track record of shipping products with direct customer interaction, not just internal stakeholders
- Hands-on experience building scaled LLM software: LLM APIs, agent frameworks, prompt and eval tooling, harness and tool-use development, and closed-loop evaluation systems including LLM-as-judge
- Strong product and customer mindset — you put solving customer problems first and know how to ship and iterate quickly
- Comfortable setting your own product strategy in an ambiguous environment rather than executing a pre-defined roadmap
- SDLC and developer tooling background is a plus but not required — strong AI and agent experience is what matters most
