Full Job Description
We're looking for a Product Designer II to shape the next generation of Custom Metrics-a foundational product that powers a range of core Datadog products. You'll design workflows that include AI-powered discovery and agentic governance to help customers see where their metrics come from, investigate cost and cardinality, and govern their metrics at scale.

This role sits at the heart of a deeply technical platform. You'll partner with product managers, engineers, and designers across many of the teams that emit, consume, or depend on metrics. Your work will define how customers reason about, troubleshoot, and govern one of the highest-volume and most foundational data sets in observability.

What You'll Do:
  • Own end-to-end design from problem framing through shipped experience on Metrics workflows, including how AI-powered discovery and agentic governance are surfaced for customers
  • Partner with engineering and product on deeply technical subject matter and translate that complexity into simple experiences that hold up across our diverse customers
  • Use research and data to validate your design decisions, and iterate based on feedback from customers and stakeholders
  • Communicate your design work and support for your design decisions internally to your product team and design peers
  • Contribute to design quality and systems-thinking practices within the Metrics team, helping ensure consistency across related workflows


Who You Are:
  • You have 3+ years of experience in product design
  • Your portfolio includes a proven track record of end-to-end design with clear evidence of decisions grounded in user data.
  • You are an excellent visual and written communicator, able to clearly communicate your design work and the support for your design decisions
  • You have experience with advanced prototyping tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code, etc)
  • You understand systems thinking and how to design flows that scale across many variations and edge cases.
  • You give and receive feedback well, supporting and improving the work of your colleagues as well as your own


Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you're passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.

Benefits and Growth:
  • New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
  • Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing
  • Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking
  • An inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (Datadog employee resource groups)
  • Access to Inclusion Talks, our internal panel discussions
  • Free, global mental health benefits for employees and dependents age 6+
  • Competitive global benefits


Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.
