Product Designer II, Actions

We're looking for a Product Designer II with a passion for designing compelling experiences for complex technical workflows. Specifically, you'll design tools that automate tasks in response to incidents and promote engineering best practices. These tools are AI-forward, early-stage, and connect closely with the rest of the Datadog ecosystem, so it's a unique opportunity to work on leading-edge developer experience tooling, have an impact, and collaborate widely across teams.

The ideal candidate is a systems thinker with a strong visual skillset who will help create high-craft solutions while building relationships across teams. You'll engage with customers to understand their needs and pain points, collaborate with engineers, product managers,and designers, and own your design decisions.

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:

• Work with product managers, engineers, and data scientists to understand how our customers use Datadog and what they need to succeed
• See your design work through from start to finish: turn insights from user research into ideas, sketch and prototype to bring them to life, and ship products and features that make Datadog better
• Develop the expertise in your product area, learning from and collaborating with designers on the team
• Communicate both your design work and the support for your design decisions
• Work closely with engineering teams to understand how your designs will be built and own the polish for your solutions

Who You Are:

• You have 3+ years of experience in product design
• Your portfolio includes a proven track record of shipping end-to-end design work
• You're an excellent visual and verbal communicator who is able to explain the rationale behind your design decisions
• You understand systems thinking and component-based design patterns, easily flexing between methods like sketching and high-fidelity, interactive prototypes with attention to detail (e.g., microinteractions)
• You have experience with advanced prototyping tools (e.g. Principle, Framer, Sketch, Figma, InVision)
• You're eager to experiment with AI in your workflow, contribute to AI-forward products, and even contribute code
• You have a growth mindset, give and receive feedback well, want to improve your own work and support your teammates in improving theirs
