About the Role
Datadog is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the evolution of its fleet and lifecycle management platform. This platform provides customers with visibility and control over observability software across their infrastructure, managing agents and OpenTelemetry collectors on hosts and Kubernetes clusters. The role involves expanding the platform's scope to additional software components, making it a central hub for managing all environment software, versions, and deployment models for both human operators and AI agents.
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the product vision and roadmap for a unified fleet and lifecycle management platform spanning multiple product lines and deployment models.
- Define "managed" for each new software component, balancing experience consistency with operational realities.
- Drive a phased expansion plan, sequencing new components based on customer value, technical complexity, and dependency readiness.
- Partner closely with engineering leads to align on shared architecture principles for disparate software components.
- Represent the customer's voice for a platform serving both human operators and AI agents.
- Build business cases, define success metrics, and communicate roadmap and trade-offs to stakeholders.
- Stay connected with customers and design partners to validate priorities and de-risk roadmap bets.
Requirements
- 5+ years of product management experience with a track record of owning complex, technical, platform-level products.
- Experience shipping infrastructure, DevOps, IT operations, or observability/monitoring products, ideally involving fleet management, configuration management, or software lifecycle/deployment tooling.
- Demonstrated ability to build product direction across multiple engineering teams with differing priorities and drive alignment without direct authority.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity, defining scope and sequencing capabilities that deliver customer value incrementally.
- Strong technical fluency; comfortable discussing architecture trade-offs with engineers.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience with Kubernetes-based deployment models and operator patterns.
- Experience with remote configuration or feature-flagging infrastructure at scale.
- Familiarity with BYOC (bring-your-own-cloud) or customer-hosted software deployment models.
