Manager I, Engineering - RUM Applied AI

Customers developing apps with a UI component need to ensure that their application and user journeys work well for end users. Real User Monitoring (RUM) optimizes frontend performance, allowing you to uncover performance problems before your customers do, and discover in-depth insights into end user behavior.

In addition no one likes dealing with errors. Error Tracking reduces noise by identifying errors that matter and equips developers to resolve them as fast as possible by leveraging the Datadog platform.

As Engineering Manager for the RUM Applied AI team covering Error Tracking and RUM, you'll join a fast growing product area. You will support the team in delivering robust models, raise the bar for AI development and help shape the product roadmap.

On the Error Tracking side, your team will lead the charge on multiple technical challenges such as grouping similar errors into a common entity, surfacing the right errors to customers and providing them with the best investigation and resolution workflows so that they can focus on delivering value rather than spend time fixing issues.

On the RUM side, you will design and lead the first initiatives toward integrating AI to improve datadog's frontend monitoring. The range of potential applications is large and has a high impact toward data driven optimization of our client's frontend.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships that it builds, the creativity it brings to the table, and the collaboration of being together. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

What You’ll Do:

• Manage and guide the RUM Applied AI team, directly managing 3 engineers and an intern


• Work with product teams across Datadog to ensure that Error Tracking and RUM products can deliver the best product experience leveraging AI


• Create a strong team culture aligned with our engineering standards and our customer focus
