Hiring: Staff Product Manager - Bits Release Company: Datadog Location: New York, NY Job Posted Time: 2026-09-03 10:44:55 Employment Type: Hybrid Target Skills & Keywords : Accessibility, CI/CD, Datadog, Feature Flags, LLM, Product Management, Spring About the job Experience: •6+ years of product management (or 4+ with a deep technical background), with meaningful time on developer tools, CI/CD, observability, or SRE/platform products. Required Skills: •AI coding agents now write code 100x faster than humans can review it, but new bottlenecks mean companies aren't shipping as fast as their agents can write code. We believe the major bottleneck is correctness, and it’s shifting from human code review to continuous, production-grounded validation at every stage of software delivery. •Own the vision, narrative, and roadmap for Bits Release end to end, from pre-merge to continuous production validation. •Partner with customers, internal software engineers and design on a developer experience that earns developers' trust and gets out of the way once it's earned. •Drive packaging and pricing to a decision (per-investigation consumption vs. continuous platform capability) with finance and product leadership. •Treat agent quality as the product. Own the evals, reliability targets, and KPIs that prove Bits Release works, and keep proving it as it scales. •Interface directly with senior engineers who expect you to track the AI frontier, hold technical opinions, and stay close to customers. •Partner with product marketing, advocacy, and sales to take Bits Release from preview to GA, with a story that lands for the SREs who buy it and the developers who use it. Qualifications: •You've shipped an LLM or agentic product: you know what good evals look like, how to debug nondeterministic systems, and how to weigh cost, latency, and quality tradeoffs in production. •You use AI coding agents daily and have strong opinions about what releasing software means two to three years from now. •Deep SDLC fluency: PR workflows, CI systems, deployment strategies (canary, blue-green, feature flags, progressive rollout), and production signals (traces, logs, RUM, synthetics, error tracking). •You're at your best when the problem is still ambiguous. •You're an exceptional writer and speaker. We write, sharpen, and defend our narratives continuously, often to executive audiences. •Background as a software engineer, SRE, or platform engineer. •Exposure to a broader set of tooling and signals like product analytics, session replays, APM or RUM. •Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand 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 skills, we encourage you to apply. •New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) •Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing Compensation: •$244,000 - $305,000 / year •Datadog offers a competitive salary and equity package, and may include variable compensation Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
