Senior Product Designer

The opportunity

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to work on our Internal Developer Portal (IDP), a platform that streamlines engineering workflows, enhances service visibility, and enables self-service capabilities for users of Datadog. This portal will serve as a central hub for the platform developers responsible for managing services, deployments, documentation, and communication operational insights to their teams and leadership. 

As a member of the Internal Developer Portal team, you’ll collaborate with product managers, developers, and other product designers who are responsible for designing and building all the features of IDP that development teams need to drive standardization, best practices, service visibility, and more. You’ll be part of a passionate, close-knit team, and drive the design strategy to help create a seamless user experience for developers navigating complex systems. 

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.

What You’ll Do:

• Act as an end-to-end product designer who can sketch, prototype and see your product through to production. 
• Partner with product managers and engineers to ensure that we build the right product for our customers, and that the design is well-planned, structured, and efficiently executed. 
• Collaborate with the other designers to create and uphold a shared visual language for the Internal Developer Portal. 
• Conduct user research through interviews, usability studies, surveys, and other methods to generate insights that drive user-centric design decisions.
• Communicate and present your design work and your design decisions to your product team, the design team, and the whole company.
• Work closely with engineering teams to understand how your designs will be built and Q/A them before we ship. 
• Be the expert in your product area, mentoring other designers on the team to do their best work.

Who You Are:

• You have 5+ years of experience in digital product design
• You are a doer. Your portfolio includes a proven track record of shipping complex system design, particularly in technical or enterprise applications.
• You are deeply curious about user needs and possess a data-driven mindset, confidently conducting research and sharing findings to shape design strategy.
• You are an excellent visual and written communicator who is able to clearly communicate your design work and justify your design decisions
• You have experience with advanced modern-day UX/UI tools (e.g. Figma, Sketch). 
• You understand systems thinking and component-based design patterns
• You give and receive feedback well, supporting and improving the work of your colleagues as well as your own

Bonus Points:

• Familiarity designing for developer tools, CI/CD or DevOps tools, or internal platforms.
• You have experience in a SaaS or B2B startup and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

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.
