Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Datadog as an employer.

What you need

  • 5+ years of technical program management at a high-growth technology company
  • Demonstrated ability to drive large, ambiguous, cross-functional programs to completion with minimal direction
  • Engineering credibility earned through hands-on experience with technically complex domains — observability, infrastructure, data platforms, or AI/ML systems
  • Track record of earning trust with senior engineering and product leadership
  • Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable owning the narrative at VP+ levels
  • Active AI practitioner, using AI tools in daily work

Nice to have

  • Identified systemic problems and built operating systems to solve them
  • Automated program lifecycles or workflows that previously required manual coordination
  • Experience managing programs with real unit economics implications

What you get

  • New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
  • Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing
  • Assigned TPM mentor and engineering buddy program
  • Inclusive company culture and active Community Guilds
  • Competitive global benefits including mental health benefits for employees and dependents
  • Healthcare, dental, parental planning, and mental health benefits

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of a fully remote option, role is hybrid
  • The technical bar is described as high, which may require significant expertise
  • Focus on AI tools may require continuous learning and adaptation
