About this role
**Code Intelligence — Manager I, Engineering (Code Intelligence)** Code Intelligence sits at the intersection of agentic engineering and product, running agents against real customer source code in production. Own an AI-native team in a business-critical growth area with high visibility and high leverage. **What you’ll do** - Lead and develop an existing engineering team: build trust, set technical direction, and establish a high bar for ownership and execution. - Own the roadmap and execution across four areas: - Source code indexing - PR Agentic Reviewers (agents that generate artifacts like metric descriptions on customer pull requests) - Shift-left work (extending code-writing agents to make direct changes to customer repos) - Closed-loop feedback and evaluation systems, including LLM-as-judge - Set the team’s product strategy independently while partnering day-to-day with product teams company-wide (the team functions as its own product org). - Build and operate scaled LLM and agent software in production, including: - LLM APIs, agent frameworks - Harness and tool-use layers - Prompt and eval tooling - Closed-loop evaluation systems to measure and improve agent output quality - Partner with customers and internal stakeholders to understand needs and translate them into technical direction. - Drive AI-native development practices: set high standards for safety and validation, and increase agent autonomy over time. **Who you are** - Experienced engineering manager with a track record of shipping products with direct customer interaction. - Hands-on experience building scaled LLM software: LLM APIs, agent frameworks, prompt/eval tooling, harness and tool-use development, and closed-loop evaluation systems (including LLM-as-judge). - Strong product and customer mindset—solve customer problems first and iterate quickly. - Comfortable setting your own product strategy in an ambiguous environment (not just executing a predefined roadmap). - SDLC and developer tooling background is a plus, but strong AI/agent experience is the priority. - Datadog encourages applicants who are passionate about technology and want to grow, even if you don’t meet every qualification on day one. **Benefits & growth** - New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) - Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing - Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program - Inclusive culture and access to Community Guilds (employee resource groups) - Inclusion Talks (internal panel discussions) - Free, global mental health benefits for employees and dependents age 6+ - Competitive global benefits *Note: Benefits and growth may vary by country and employment type.* **Work style** - #LI-Hybrid **About Datadog** Datadog is the leading observability and security platform for the AI era, providing unified visibility across the technology stack to manage complexity at scale. **Equal Opportunity** Datadog is an equal opportunity employer and considers qualified applicants regardless of protected characteristics and in accordance with legal requirements.
