At Datadog, we're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams. We operate at massive scale—trillions of data points per day—enabling seamless collaboration and problem-solving across Dev, Ops, and Security teams for tens of thousands of customers worldwide. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.

The Containers product group sits at the core of Datadog’s Infrastructure business and powers a significant portion of Datadog’s revenue. As modern infrastructure continues to shift toward Kubernetes and containerized workloads, this group is responsible for helping customers operate, secure, and optimize their most critical production environments—reliably and at scale.

In this role, you will define the long-term vision and strategy for Datadog’s Containers & Live processes products, spanning Kubernetes observability, container runtime visibility, workload health, and the operational workflows that infrastructure teams rely on every day. You will lead a team of product managers building foundational platform capabilities used by thousands of customers running mission-critical workloads in production.

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.
