Own the roadmap for Infrastructure-as-Code detection capabilities that identify high-impact infrastructure, cost, blast-radius, and configuration changes before production deployment. Define user experiences across Datadog and developer workflows, collaborate with Engineering, Design, AI, and customers, drive adoption and product-market fit, and establish quality standards for coverage, correctness, and user trust.

As a Product Manager – IaC Detection, you will define, build, and launch capabilities that proactively detect infrastructure issues in code (e.g. Terraform, Helm) before they can be deployed into production and escalate into production incidents. The Infrastructure Monitoring team has pioneered shift-left detection in the industry with Bits Infrastructure Operations, and we’re looking for a Product Manager to expand this capability to a broader set of use cases 

Customers (and thus developers) are increasingly standardizing on IaC tools to deploy and maintain ever-growing infrastructure in the cloud. At the same time, SREs and Infra teams struggle with an increasing number of production incidents. By shifting-left and identifying high-impact infra changes before they are deployed, we help reduce production incidents, reduce waste, and free up SRE time to focus on value-added tasks. You will own the roadmap to expand IaC detection to a broader set of use cases, including cost detection, blast radius impact, as well as configuration changes on infrastructure powering applications like nginx, postgres and more. You’ll partner closely with Engineering, Design, and customers to build and iterate on the roadmap, build product market fit, drive customer adoption (including internal usage), and focus on coverage and correctness of the AI system. This is an opportunity to lead an initiative at the intersection of AI, infrastructure operations, and autonomous observability.

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:
  • Lead the product roadmap for IaC Detection, enabling customers to proactively detect and catch high-impact infrastructure and configuration changes before they are deployed into production and escalate into incidents. 

  • Define the end-to-end experience across the Datadog UI, developer workflows (e.g. GitHub). Partner with Design and Engineering to create user-facing experiences.

  • Work with customers, including Datadog, to drive adoption and iterate the product

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with infrastructure monitoring, AI product teams, and other teams in Datadog to integrate IaC detection capabilities across the Datadog platform.

  • Establish quality standards and success metrics, including coverage, correctness, and user trust.

Who You Are:
  • 3+ years of Product Management experience shipping technical products in cloud infrastructure or SaaS environments, ideally for developer or operator audiences.

  • You love building with AI, are excited about AI, and its potential to change the way infrastructure is monitored and managed

  • You have a technical background and/or sense of the day in the life of an engineer/developer shipping, maintaining, or securing a distributed cloud application 

  • Ability to drive product-led growth for a new 0-1 initiative targeting developers by identifying design partners, fast iteration and building product market fit.

  • Clear and concise communicator who can lead cross-functional initiatives and align stakeholders around a shared vision.

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:
  • Generous and competitive benefits package

  • New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan

  • Continuous career development and pathing opportunities

  • Employee-focused best in class onboarding

  • Internal mentor and cross-departmental buddy program

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
