Join Datadog's Product Design Team!

We're looking for early-career product designers who move fast, turn complexity into clarity through thoughtful design and clear communication, and are eager to elevate their craft with AI.

At Datadog, design is how we make the invisible complexity of modern software visible and actionable, helping engineers keep their systems reliable and their teams empowered. Our team designs the tools developers around the world rely on every day - real-time dashboards, data visualizations, incident workflows, and the design systems that power them.

Datadog's Product Design team is growing rapidly and expanding into new user spaces and refining our most impactful products. This is your chance to contribute to an ever-evolving technology landscape and help shape how millions of developers experience Datadog and, in turn, how they do their work every day.

The Associate Designer Program (ADP) is a 12-month rotational program built for speed, growth, and learning. You'll move through three design rotations, each focused on solving high-impact, real-world challenges across our product ecosystem. You'll design, test, ship, and learn at pace. You'll collaborate directly with product managers, engineers, and senior designers, guided by dedicated mentors who push your craft and strategic thinking. By the end of the program, you'll have developed diverse knowledge of Datadog's portfolio and built the skills to design confidently in a fast-moving, global environment.
