Job description
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer passionate about crafting curated experiences for technical users.
You’ll be working as a designer on the Real User Monitoring Team, focused on helping front-end developers optimize and improve performance across their applications to offer the best possible user experiences. You’ll work within the product design team, collaborating with other designers to make the best designs and solutions for the product. You’ll be working alongside another designer and collaborating on building strong and scalable patterns.
You’ll not only own the success or failure of your design work, you’ll help other designers communicate their ideas and the support for their design decisions across the company.
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 with product managers, engineers, and design to understand how our customers use Datadog and what they need to succeed
- See your design work through from start to finish: turn insights from user research into ideas, sketch and prototype to bring them to life, and ship products and features that make Datadog better
- Be the expert in your product area, mentoring designers on the team to do their best work
- Communicate both your design work and the support for your design decisions across the company
- Work closely with engineering teams to understand and see through how your designs will be built
Who You Are:
- You have 6+ years of full-time experience in digital B2B product design, with familiarity or strong interest in the cloud monitoring/observability/security industries
- Your portfolio includes a proven track record of shipping interaction design work in web applications
- You thrive in the UX design space but are also fluid in the visual design space
- You are an excellent visual and written communicator, able to clearly communicate your design work and the support for your design decisions
- You have experience with prototyping tools (e.g. Principle, Framer, Sketch, Figma)
- You understand systems thinking and component-based design patterns
- You give and receive feedback well, supporting and improving the work of your colleagues as well as your own
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:
- New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
- Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing
- Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking
- An inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (Datadog employee resource groups)
- Access to Inclusion Talks, our internal panel discussions
- Free, global mental health benefits for employees and dependents age 6+
- Competitive global benefits
Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.
