Job description

The Product Solutions Architecture (PSA) team acts as a technical multiplier across Datadog. PSAs are domain experts who partner with Field teams on complex customer use cases across pre- and post-sales engagements and scale their impact by producing reusable collateral, including reference architectures, technical guides, and enablement assets. By feeding real-world customer insights back to Datadog Product teams, PSAs help influence product roadmaps while accelerating adoption, usage, and long-term customer success.

Datadog’s AI Agent Observability product enables organizations to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize large-scale AI-powered applications with confidence, while meeting requirements around data privacy, compliance, and cost management. As a Product Solutions Architect, you will partner closely with Datadog customers and the AI Agent Observability product team to design architectures, implement best practices, and drive adoption of AI Agent Observability across customer environments in two ways – performance, and reliability.

• Act as a trusted advisor to Product Management by delivering actionable feedback informed by real-world field experience

Who You Are:

• You bring a strong software engineering foundation, with hands-on experience building and operating AI Agent-powered applications in production environments at a large scale, and are comfortable diving deep into codebases to understand architectural decisions, tradeoffs, and implementation details
• You are familiar with distributed systems and core observability concepts, such as tracing, metrics, and logging
• You can translate the industry patterns into the emerging AI Agent observability domain, including agentic workflows, LLM spans, experiments, evaluations, and prompt templates
• Experience with languages such as Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript
• Comfortable operating in rapidly evolving, ambiguous technical domains
• You build deep context across teams and translate it into reusable, scalable solutions
• You take ownership from problem definition through implementation and measurable outcomes
• Highly detail-oriented, particularly when working on architectures and customer-facing technical assets
• You bring strong listening and consultative skills and are experienced supporting customers in high-pressure, complex situations
• Able to sit up to 4 hours, traveling to and from client sites
• Able to travel via auto, train, or air up to 40% of the time

Bonus Points:

• Successful track record with 5+ years experience working as a Solutions Architect or Sales Engineer supporting the AI space
