<p>Datadog’s Product Analytics suite spans Product Analytics, Session Replay, Feature Flags, and Experimentation.
Together they give product teams a complete, quantitative and qualitative picture of how users experience their applications, plus the tools to release, measure, and improve those experiences with confidence.
</p> <p>Our team of Applied Scientists makes this space smarter and more autonomous, researching, prototyping, and industrializing AI/ML capabilities that make the suite proactive and agentic by default: AI-driven event understanding and instrumentation, conversational analytics, automated insight reporting, and UI/UX issue detection from session replays.
The ambition is to let product teams act with autonomy, moving from question to insight to safely released change without depending on engineering or analysts.
</p> <p>As the Engineering Manager for this team, you’ll lead a team of Applied Scientists through an early-stage, high-impact opportunity: defining the team’s technical vision, growing its footprint, and shaping how AI capabilities get built and delivered across the suite.
This is greenfield work, both in the R&D itself and in the team you’ll grow around it.
</p> <p><em>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.
