Job description
from Datadog careersWe’re looking for a Senior Staff Software Engineer with deep experience in GenAI/ML to join Datadog’s Application Performance Monitoring (APM) team. APM is a product which provides deep visibility into applications, enabling users to identify performance bottlenecks, troubleshoot issues, and optimize services. With distributed tracing, profiling, out-of-the-box dashboards, and seamless correlation with other telemetry data, Datadog APM provides some of the deepest and most structured visibility into the health and performance of applications. This context sets us up for an opportunity to be the world leaders in agentic investigations and incident troubleshooting.

We’re looking for a product-minded ML engineer with strong technical expertise, excellent communication skills, and a track record of driving impactful initiatives end to end.
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:
- Serve as the technical owner for GenAI initiatives within APM, leading design, development, and deployment of ML/AI-powered features across multiple teams.
