Staff Product Designer - Service Management

Datadog’s Service Management suite helps DevOps, SRE, and Security teams manage their operations more efficiently by bringing observability data, incident workflows, and automation into one place. Our tools are built for technical users who need to respond quickly to issues, coordinate across teams, and maintain service reliability in complex systems. Increasingly, we’re integrating AI to help teams automate manual steps, highlight relevant context, and reduce time to resolution.

As a Staff Product Designer on this team, you’ll work on the end-to-end experience across tools for service ownership, incident response, and operational workflows. You'll play a key role in shaping how our users interact with AI-powered workflows and automation in high-stakes environments.

This role involves close collaboration with product and engineering leaders to ensure a cohesive, scalable user experience across the platform. We’re looking for someone who enjoys solving complex systems problems, designing for technical depth, and improving the day-to-day experience of engineers.

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.
