Senior Software Engineer - AI Code Gen

Datadog
New York, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 8/5/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/30/2025

We're a new team building AI-assisted tools to make developers more effective, by autonomously generating tests, fixing bugs, and improving performance.

We're looking for a product-minded generalist to help us quickly define and ship products that make all of our customers 10x developers.

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

What You'll Do:

  • Work closely with our users, designers, and PMs on cutting edge and delightful LLM-based agents

  • Regularly talk with users to understand their needs and get their feedback

  • Rapidly design and prototype open-ended, full stack features. Iterate quickly with early adopters, learn what works, and productionize it

  • Work with other Datadog teams to expand capabilities, for example integrating with the Datadog IDE extensions to deliver a CoPilot-like assistant, or Dynamic Instrumentation to collect more runtime data from production and pre-production environments

Who You Are:

  • You're passionate about Generative AI and its ability to help software engineers be more productive. Bonus points if you keep up with the latest LLM developments and research

  • You ship fast, route around blockers, and are comfortable working with ambiguity

  • You love talking with users

  • You're happy to jump into any part of the stack and do whatever's needed to move a project forward

  • You have great product taste

  • You may have been a founder or early builder at a startup

  • You have a BS/MS/PhD in a Computer Science, Engineering or related scientific field or equivalent experience

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you're passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.

Benefits and Growth:

  • Get to build tools for software engineers, just like yourself. And use the tools we build to accelerate our development

  • Have a lot of influence on product direction and impact on the business

  • Work with skilled, knowledgeable, and kind teammates who are happy to teach and learn

  • Competitive global benefits

  • Continuous professional development

Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.
