Senior Product Manager - Feature Flagging

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 engine...

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 Flagg...

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 t...

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 strategy to senior leadership and executives

You have +5 years of experience working closely with engineering teams, ideally as an engineer yourself, with a track record of owning a product area end to end
You have +2 years writing code that shipped to production through a full release cycle, and know what to expect from CI/CD, flagging, and observability tools because you've used them
You have real technical understanding of software architecture - why teams trade off server vs. client compute, and how browser and native apps differ
You have excellent written and verbal communication skills: you read and listen fast, write and speak clearly, and can talk to engineers as a peer
You have B2B experience - you've personally helped close deals, you know what makes developer docs and devex good, and you can diagnose and fix enablement problems across a large sales team
You are AI-fluent: you've shipped code with agentic tools yourself and know firsthand where AI tooling creates friction in the SDLC
You are based in New York City and able to work from our office 3 days a week
Bonus: prior experience with observability tooling, experimentation platforms, or distributed systems
