Senior Product Manager Fleet and Lifecycle Management

Datadog is looking for a Senior Product Manager to help lead the evolution of our fleet and lifecycle management capability the product surface that gives customers visibility into and control over the observability software running across their infrastructure.

This capability manages the deployment lifecycle for core observability agents and OpenTelemetry collectors running on customer hosts and containers. The Senior PM will expand the scope of fleet capability to additional Datadog software components making it the single place customers go to see everything running in their environment at any version in any deployment model and to manage it remotely and safely at scale for both human operators and increasingly AI agents acting on their behalf.

This is a high-visibility cross-functional role. Youll partner with multiple engineering teams and be responsible for defining and delivering a coherent unified fleet experience across UI API and MCP for customers.

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.

• Own and evolve the product vision and roadmap for a unified fleet and lifecycle management capability spanning multiple product lines and deployment models.
• Define what managed means for each new software component as its brought into fleet balancing consistency of experience with the realities of each components operational model.
• Drive a phased expansion plan sequencing new components into fleet based on customer value technical complexity and dependency readiness.
• Partner closely with engineering leads across several teams to align on shared architecture principles to support disparate software components.
• Represent the voice of the customer for a capability that must work equally well for human operators using a UI and for AI agents/automated tooling operating programmatically.
• Build the business case define success metrics and communicate roadmap and trade-offs to engineering design sales and executive stakeholders.
• Stay closely connected to customers and design partners to validate priorities and de-risk major roadmap bets.

• 5 years of product management experience with a track record of owning complex technical cross-product capability.
• Experience shipping infrastructure DevOps IT operations or observability/monitoring products ideally involving fleet management configuration management or software lifecycle/deployment tooling.
• Demonstrated ability to build product direction across multiple engineering teams with differing priorities and to drive alignment without direct authority.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity defining scope and sequencing capabilities that deliver customer value incrementally.
• Strong technical fluency; you dont need to write code but you should be comfortable discussing architecture trade-offs with engineers.
• Experience designing products for emerging AI-agent/automation use cases is a strong plus.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; you can distill a sprawling multi-team initiative into a clear narrative for different audiences.
• Bachelors degree or equivalent practical experience.

• Experience with Kubernetes-based deployment models and operator patterns.
• Experience with remote configuration or feature-flagging infrastructure at scale.
• Familiarity with BYOC (bring-your-own-cloud) or customer-hosted software deployment models.
