Staff AI Engineer - Notebooks

Datadog Notebooks provide customers with a collaborative surface for ad-hoc data analysis, technical documentation, incident postmortems and runbooks. The power and flexibility of Notebooks also makes it the perfect place to integrate AI tools that can augment user workflows. Our vision is that in Notebooks users can collaborate with each other and with AI agents seamlessly.

We are looking for a product-oriented Staff Engineer to lead the development of AI-powered features. In this role you will work closely with product management to envision compelling workflows, coordinate with Datadog’s growing set of AI platform teams to better leverage internal tools, and build AI agents that can emulate deep technical expertise. You will help our engineers become more skilled and comfortable with AI-oriented development by building extensible systems, establishing standards, and leading by example. As a technical anchor in the organization, you will provide oversight and guidance for our full scope of systems, AI and otherwise.

There is a tremendous opportunity for broad impact: we want to set the standard for AI development in observability products, starting in Notebooks but extending to Datadog’s other products.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
