Staff Product Designer, APM

We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer to join the APM (Application Performance Monitoring) team. This team is focused on helping engineers agentically troubleshoot and optimize their applications.

You'll learn the domain and proactively spot areas for improvement, getting stakeholder buy-in as needed. You'll own your design work end-to-end while helping shape broader product direction. You'll also hold a high bar for quality across the team and help other designers build support for their decisions.

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:

• Become a design leader within APM by proactively identifying opportunities and shaping the design strategy across multiple product areas and workflows.
• Partner closely with PMs and Engineers to ship intuitive experiences, balancing user needs with platform scalability and engineering constraints.
• Conduct and synthesize qualitative and quantitative research to identify pain points, validate solutions, and guide roadmap decisions.
• Communicate design rationale clearly and persuasively across design, engineering, product, and executive stakeholders.
• Mentor and support other designers by providing feedback, sharing frameworks and workflows, and helping raise the overall design quality bar across the organization.
• Prototype in code to rapidly explore ideas and validate concepts.
• Contribute to production code using AI-assisted workflows to ensure execution matches design intent.
• Help the team adopt AI-enabled design workflows.
