Datadog is seeking a Senior AI Engineer to lead the development of AI-assisted workflows within Datadog Notebooks, a collaborative platform for ad-hoc data analysis, technical documentation, incident postmortems, and runbooks. This is a product-oriented role where you will own the design and delivery of AI-powered product experiences, combining deterministic product capabilities with LLM-powered features to create trustworthy and explainable customer outcomes.
Key responsibilities include:
- Lead the design and delivery of AI-powered product experiences for Notebooks and adjacent surfaces
- Develop systems that integrate LLM technologies with deterministic product capabilities
- Partner closely with Product Management to translate customer problems and roadmap goals into technical decisions
- Build experiences enabling Datadog capabilities to operate within third-party AI platforms, agents, and conversational environments
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship while establishing AI engineering best practices
- Own production systems: build and operate reliable backend services in the critical path of customer deployments, with on-call responsibilities
You bring 6+ years of relevant engineering experience with proficiency in Go, Python, or similar systems programming languages. You have hands-on experience delivering production AI-powered products using LLM technologies and a strong product mindset connecting technical decisions to customer outcomes. You excel at building reliable systems that manage model non-determinism through evaluation frameworks, testing strategies, and operational excellence.
Datadog operates as a hybrid workplace with multiple office locations across Europe (France, Ireland, Spain) and remote options. The company values continuous professional development, equity participation (RSUs and ESPP), and an inclusive culture with community guilds and internal panel discussions.
