Senior Product Designer - AAA

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer with a passion for building platform features that impact UX at a massive scale. As a member of AAA, you’ll work across a breadth of problem spaces on deeply technical topics, such as governance, access, teams, identity, and multi-org UX. You’ll lead design for features that mediate how Datadog’s biggest customers use the platform and manage what their employees can see and do.

Role Location

New York, New York, USA

What You'll Do

• Work closely with your PM and engineering partners to understand customers’ pain points, explore solutions, and build UI that ships.
• Prototyping in code creates the opportunity to share high-fidelity ideas at early stages, even if the design itself is low-fidelity. Tight feedback loops let your team iterate quickly, building towards an ideal vision for the best possible experience while you ship incremental steps towards that goal.
• Share your work with stakeholders at varying levels of seniority, all the way up to executive leadership level. Your crisp context setting and clear description of your solution will help people understand your choices and sell them on your proposal.
• Up-level the quality bar for what an admin experience can look like. While you’ll leverage Datadog’s design system where it makes sense, you won’t let it prevent broad exploration of different design patterns in the service of finding the optimal solution.
• Interface with product teams where our features overlap with theirs, ensuring a coherent experience across different contexts that serves both teams’ goals. You’ll stress-test your work against a variety of edge cases, ensuring it holds up in all of the contexts it will live in.
