Description
At Datadog, we're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams.
As a Senior Product Manager for Feature Flagging, you will own product strategy and drive execution across flags-plus-observability integration and agentic-era flagging workflows.
Responsibilities
- Find every place where a flag decision and an observability signal should talk to each other - rollout gating, anomaly-triggered rollback, experiment diagnostics - and ship a roadmap that unlocks observability and experimentation differentiators in Datadog Feature Flags
- Work closely with the observability, RUM, and APM teams to make flags a real signal across the platform
- Design flagging workflows for a world where agents write and merge code, find where today's flag tooling slows agentic development down, and set the bar for what a modern, AI-native flagging platform looks like
- Ground your product calls in real knowledge of CI/CD, release cycles, and observability tooling, and reason concretely about server vs. client compute tradeoffs and how flags behave differently in browser vs. native apps
- Work with engineers as a peer - read code, follow the technical debate, and make the call when tradeoffs get messy
- Get into deal cycles directly and know what it takes to close enterprise flagging deals
- Own what good documentation and developer experience looks like for this product, and find and fix the enablement gaps across a large sales org
- Own this product area from vision through GTM execution, and communicate progress and strategy to senior leadership and executives
Requirements
- You have +5 years of experience working closely with engineering teams, ideally as an engineer yourself, with a track record of owning a product area end to end
- You have +2 years writing code that shipped to production through a full release cycle, and know what to expect from CI/CD, flagging, and observability tools because you've used them
- You have real technical understanding of software architecture - why teams tradeoff server vs. client compute, and how browser and native apps differ
- You have excellent written and verbal communication skills: you read and listen fast, write and speak clearly, and can talk to engineers as a peer
- You have B2B experience - you've personally helped close deals, you know what makes developer docs and devex good, and you can diagnose and fix enablement problems across a large sales team
- You are AI-fluent: you've shipped code with agentic tools yourself and know firsthand where AI tooling creates friction in the SDLC
- You are based in New York City and able to work from our office 3 days a week
