Manager I, Engineering AI Developer Products

Manager I Engineering - AI Developer Products

Everyone is building agent orchestrators; we think the harder problem is verification - knowing whether what an agent produced actually works against real systems before it ships.

Weve spent a decade collecting the production truth that makes that answerable and were looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the team turning it into a developer tool. Youll own the surfaces where developers work with coding agents day to day. This is early-stage product work with the distribution data and engineering depth of an established company behind it and your first users will be Datadogs own engineers giving you feedback loops measured in hours.

At Datadog we place value in our office culture - the relationships that it builds the creativity it brings to the table and the collaboration of being together. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

What Youll Do: (Describe role responsibilities here/max 6 bullets)

• Lead and grow a team of engineers building AI-powered developer tools owning hiring ramp-up and career development
• Own the technical direction for the product were shipping partnering closely with staff-level engineers on architecture decisions.
• Drive down developer cycle time while raising the bar on correctness - making AI-assisted development both faster and more trustworthy
• Partner with Product and Design to shape the roadmap for an early-stage product translating ambiguous problems into shippable scope
• Establish the execution rhythm for your team: planning delivery quality and operational ownership of the services you build

Who You Are: (Describe role qualifications here/max 6 bullets)

• Youre actively shipping code with AI agents in production
• You thrive in early-stage environments where the roadmap shifts and the right answer isnt known yet.
• You have a genuine point of view on AI coding tools - where they help today where they fall short and what it would take to close the gap.
• You have strong technical depth in full-stack development (TypeScript/React and systems-level work) and stay close enough to the code to earn the trust of senior engineers
• Youve built developer-facing products or tooling where speed reliability and developer experience were hard requirements

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. Thats okay. If youre passionate about technology and want to grow your skills we encourage you to apply.
