Senior Product Manager - Search
As a Senior Product Manager, you will lead the Search team, focusing on AI agents, search ranking, and recommendation systems. You will define and monitor KPIs, collaborate with AI teams, and engage with customers to enhance search experiences.

- Define and deliver how Datadog's AI agents discover the right context and tools to answer natural-language questions accurately and at scale
- Stay on top of industry trends in UI and agentic search experiences and capabilities
- Collaborate with Applied AI teams to integrate ranking, personalization, and recommendation models that scale across both human and agentic users
- Define and monitor KPIs for search quality, adoption, and downstream impact on user productivity; use them to drive data-informed decision making

- You have excellent verbal and written communication skills and the willingness to present and defend your ideas to technical stakeholders and executives alike
- You have 5+ years product experience
