Job description
from Datadog careersDatadog’s People Technology team is building the future of AI at work. We’re looking for a People Systems Developer to design and deploy AI-native workflows that transform how we hire, develop, and support our employees. This is a high-impact hands-on builder role. You’ll move beyond traditional HRIS configuration to prototype and productionize AI-enabled systems across talent acquisition, onboarding, performance, workforce planning, and internal service delivery. You’ll operate with high autonomy, partner directly with stakeholders, and ship solutions that measurably improve how our People team works.
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
-
Design, build, test, and implement AI-enabled workflows and tools, moving from proofs of concept to full production and adoption based on user feedback.
-
Rapidly prototype using LLMs, APIs, and automation frameworks — and move validated ideas into secure, scalable production systems.
-
Integrate AI capabilities into our ecosystem (Workday, Greenhouse, Slack, Snowflake, Jira, Google Workspace, and more).
-
Partner directly with stakeholders like People Analytics, HRBPs, IT, Legal, and Security to ensure solutions are usable, compliant, and follow responsible AI practices.
