Datadog

Product Manager II - Serverless APM

at Datadog

New York, United States



At Datadog, we're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams. We operate at high scale—trillions of data points per day—allowing for seamless collaboration and problem-solving among Dev, Ops and Security teams globally for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way. Datadog's Application Performance Monitoring (APM) provides deep visibility into the health, performance, and lifecycle of modern distributed applications, tracing requests from end-user devices (web and mobile) through to backend services. Our goal is to help customers detect root causes faster, optimize application performance, and improve resource efficiency at scale.

As a Product Manager for APM Serverless, you will own and grow the APM business across AWS, Azure, and GCP - driving adoption, customer expansion, and revenue growth by making serverless workloads first-class in Datadog APM. 

You’ll define and deliver the end-to-end serverless APM experience, from auto-instrumentation through troubleshooting, and ensure that OpenTelemetry and Datadog-native customers alike have a frictionless and performant journey. You will also lead efforts to expand coverage of cloud-managed services across providers, ensuring customers can seamlessly trace and monitor critical services in all major and emerging cloud environments. This role is highly cross-functional and strategic: you’ll partner closely with engineering, design, and go-to-market teams to shape how customers experience APM in serverless environments.

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.

  • Lead managed services tracing/representation so dependencies are modeled accurately and correlations are clear.
  • Collaborate with Product Marketing, Sales, CS, and Support on positioning, enablement, and launches; equip field teams with best practices and playbooks for serverless APM.
