Senior Product Manager - Feature Flagging

The posting, as Datadog wrote it

At Datadog, we're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams. We operate at high scale, enabling seamless collaboration and problem-solving among Dev, Ops, and Security teams globally for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.

Feature flags used to be simple on/off switches. That's changing fast. Flags are becoming a control plane: they're tied to observability, they drive rollout decisions, and AI agents build and run more of this work every day. Datadog is building the platform for that future, and we are now expanding our Feature Flagging & Experimentation product to pair flag decisions directly with observability signals and to modernize the flagging workflow for an SDLC increasingly run by agents.

As a Senior Product Manager for Feature Flagging, you will own product strategy and drive execution across flags-plus-observability integration and agentic-era flagging workflows. You will set direction for a critical area of the roadmap, work closely with the observability, RUM, and APM teams, and report directly to the Director of Product leading this team. You'll be relied on to make sound, independent product judgment calls with limited oversight, bring engineering credibility to every decision, and drive B2B go-to-market strategy alongside sales.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. This role is based in New York City and works from our office 3 days a week to support that collaboration.

What you will Do

Find every place where a flag decision and an observability signal should talk to each other - rollout gating, anomaly-triggered rollback, experiment diagnostics - and ship a roadmap that unlocks observability and experimentation differentiators in Datadog Feature Flags

Work closely with the observability, RUM, and APM teams to make flags a real signal across the platform

Design flagging workflows for a world where agents write and merge code, find where today's flag tooling slows agentic development down, and set the bar for what a modern, AI-native flagging platform looks like

Ground your product calls in real knowledge of CI/CD, release cycles, and observability tooling, and reason concretely about server vs. client compute tradeoffs and how flags behave differently in browser vs. native apps

Work with engineers as a peer - read code, follow the technical debate, and make the call when tradeoffs get messy

Get into deal cycles directly and know what it takes to close enterprise flagging deals

Own what good documentation and developer experience looks like for this product, and find and fix the enablement gaps across a large sales org

Own this product area from vision through GTM execution, and communicate progress and strateg
