• Prototype and see what works well in the real world, iterate closely with our users, and then ship
• Follow the latest research on LLM prompt optimization, agents, and code editing.
• Support other Datadog product teams to help them build and productionize their developer-focused MCP toolings. For example, you’ll work with the Live Debugger team to create an agentic production debugging experience, delivering on the vision of “one click to reproduce” for production errors.
