About the role

Senior Product Manager for Feature Flagging at Datadog, owning product strategy and execution across flags-plus-observability integration and agentic-era flagging workflows. Based in New York City, hybrid office 3 days/week.

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

Qualifications

  • +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
  • +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
  • real technical understanding of software architecture - why teams trade off server vs. client compute, and how browser and native apps differ
  • excellent written and verbal communication skills: you read and listen fast, write and speak clearly, and can talk to engineers as a peer
  • 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
  • AI-fluent: you've shipped code with agentic tools yourself and know firsthand where AI tooling creates friction in the SDLC
  • based in New York City and able to work from our office 3 days a week
  • Bonus: prior experience with observability tooling, experimentation platforms, or distributed systems
