Job description

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 escalation 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 escalation 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.
