Staff Product Designer, Bits AI

As the Staff Product Designer for Bits AI, you will own the end-to-end design of Datadog’s User Assistant Agent.

The User Assistant Agent is a multi-modal assistant that allows the user to interact with Datadog in natural language, surface insights from a user’s environment, and correlate key data from across the Datadog platform through generative AI and large language models (LLM). The feature meets users where they are across desktop, mobile, team communication tools, and the Datadog web platform, surfacing insights where and when the user needs them. Example workflows the assistant helps with are: proactively and reactively resolving issues, finding pertinent Dashboards, authoring assets like monitors and synthetic tests, and finding relevant workflows to trigger. You’ll be responsible for understanding in-depth new and innovative ways that Datadog users can streamline their workflows with the Assistant, and work closely with Product, Engineering, and Data Scientists to design intuitive and novel experiences.

We are seeking a designer who is passionate about AI and excited about the possibilities it unlocks for observability and incident response. You will work on the Applied AI design team, collaborate with Design Systems on AI UI patterns, and work alongside a Staff Product Designer, contributing to Datadog’s Agentic AI vision. Additionally, you will be part of a dedicated Engineering and Product team based in the New York office.
