Job description

from Datadog careers

We’re a new team building AI-assisted tools to make Datadog developers more effective, by autonomously generating tests, fixing bugs, and improving performance.

We’re looking for a product-minded generalist to help us quickly define and ship products that make all Datadog customers 10x developers.

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:

  • Work closely with our users, designers, PMs, and data scientists on cutting edge and delightful LLM-based agents.
  • Work on prompts, evals, and agent tools for working with code, and on the engineering to productionize these systems and integrate them with Datadog products.
  • Prototype and see what works well in the real world, iterate closely with our users, and then ship.
  • Follow the latest research on LLM prompting, agents, and code editing.
  • Work with other Datadog teams to expand capabilities, for example integrating with the Datadog IDE extensions to deliver a CoPilot-like assistant, or Dynamic Instrumentation to collect more runtime data from production and pre-production environments.

Who You Are:

  • You’re a backend engineer with at least 5 years of professional experience (Go, Java, Python) who values code simplicity and performance. You’ve shipped software that uses LLMs to production.
