Group Product Manager - Observability Data Platform

We are looking for a Group Product Manager to lead our Data Platform team, managing a suite of products and services that power large-scale data ingestion, storage, transformation, and querying. The scope of this role includes observability data platforms for timeseries data, cross-platform querying capabilities, and the remote configuration of Datadog in customer environments for seamless onboarding and ongoing usage.

The ideal candidate is passionate about data-driven products, has a strong technical background, and excels at leading and mentoring a team of talented product managers. You will define the strategic vision for our data platform, ensure its successful execution, and play a key role in shaping our company-wide data strategy.

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.

What You’ll Do: 

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of product managers; provide regular feedback, support career development, and help the team excel in product delivery.
• Develop and articulate the long-term vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Data Platform organization, balancing immediate business needs with future scalability and innovation.
• Oversee end-to-end product lifecycle for observability data platforms, ensuring high performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Drive the development of cross-platform querying features, enabling users to seamlessly query structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data across diverse data sources.
• Drive the strategy for remotely configuring Datadog in customer environments, including workflows for onboarding, monitoring, and ongoing usage.
• Conduct market research and collaborate with customers to capture requirements, gather feedback, and continuously refine the product vision.
• Lead the team to define success metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Data Platform initiatives (e.g., data latency, query response times, availability, adoption rates).
• Oversee platform migrations and upgrades, including backward compatibility strategies and clear communication to end users.
• Champion best practices in product management, including agile methodologies, data-driven decision making, and experimentation.

Who You Are: 

• 7+ years of experience in B2B SaaS Product Management (ideally on a developer-focused product)
• 2+ years of experience managing a team of multiple product managers
• Leadership: Demonstrated experience hiring, mentoring, and developing product managers or engineers.
• Proven track record building and scaling data platforms (e.g., experience with JSON and time-series data, large-scale ingestion, or real-time analytics).
• Proficiency in Datadog or similar observability/monitoring platforms, with experience deploying configurations in customer environments.
• Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures, data infrastructure technologies (NoSQL, SQL, in-memory stores), and API design.
• Technical Expertise: A strong technical background that fosters trust with highly technical customers, engineers, and product managers.
• You have a demonstrated ability to understand new technologies in depth and are eager to learn about the wide range of technologies with which Datadog integrates
• You’ve worked as a software engineer or as a product manager on developer tools and possess a deep understanding of the development process and what delights developers

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We know not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That’s okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your experience, we encourage you to apply.
