About the role

As a Senior Platform Product Manager focused on AI SDLC Trusted Throughput, you will define and drive the product strategy for enabling safe, reliable software delivery at AI-native scale across Datadog’s Internal Developer Platform. As AI accelerates development velocity and system complexity, you will help evolve SDLC systems from human-supervised workflows to platforms with built-in safety, observability, and correctness guarantees. You will partner closely with engineering, security, and developer platform teams to improve deployment reliability, operational visibility, and governance while enabling both engineers and AI agents to move quickly with confidence. This role offers the opportunity to shape foundational developer infrastructure and influence how AI-powered software delivery operates across Datadog.

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:

Own the product strategy, roadmap, and execution for AI-native SDLC throughput and reliability initiatives across Datadog’s Internal Developer Platform

Define and drive platform outcomes aligned to DORA metrics, balancing deployment velocity with reliability, change failure reduction, and operational safety

Partner with engineering, infrastructure, security, and developer experience teams to build automated validation, auditability, and risk-scoring capabilities into deployment workflows

Deliver actionable SDLC observability and diagnostic capabilities that connect executive-level metrics to operational signals across the software delivery lifecycle

Drive systems that monitor and validate AI-generated or AI-attributed changes to ensure correctness, compliance, and trustworthy automation

Serve as a cross-functional product leader across SDLC Foundations, Security Engineering, and compliance, legal, privacy, and governance stakeholders

Who You Are:

You have 5+ years of experience in B2B SaaS Product Management or a related technical leadership role focused on developer platforms, infrastructure, or SDLC tooling

You have experience defining, instrumenting, and operationalizing engineering performance and reliability metrics, including DORA metrics and deployment health indicators

You are comfortable navigating ambiguity and influencing highly technical stakeholders, including senior engineers and technical leadership

You have a strong perspective on how AI is transforming software engineering workflows and understand the operational, reliability, and governance risks introduced by autonomous systems

You are an effective communicator who can present complex technical concepts to engineering teams, cross-functional stakeholders, and executive audiences

You have a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience
