Product Manager II - Model Lab

As a Product Manager II for

Model Lab

, you will define and launch Datadog’s experiment tracking platform built for teams training and fine-tuning foundational models. Model Lab centralizes metrics, hyperparameters, datasets, code versions, artifacts, and lineage to help ML and AI teams achieve reliable, reproducible, and explainable training runs at scale.

This is a 0→1 opportunity to build a new product that will be deeply integrated into Datadog’s observability platform. You will shape the product vision, validate the market, and drive execution for a new category-defining offering that serves AI research, ML platform, and applied AI teams.

At Datadog, we value our office culture — the relationships it builds, the creativity it fosters, and the collaboration that comes from working together. We operate as a hybrid workplace to help employees create a work-life harmony that fits their needs.
