Senior Product Designer, Containers

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Product Designer that can understand the container observability needs of developers and turn them into elegant and delightful products. Containerization technology is evolving fast, so while a solid foundation in cloud computing concepts is helpful, we are looking for someone that is excited and curious about this space, and has experience learning new technologies first-hand. 

As a Senior Product Designer on the Containers team at Datadog, you’ll tackle the challenge of making sense of complex, evolving systems. You excel at breaking down intricate concepts and user workflows into clear, intuitive, and elegant experiences. Our team sits at the crossroads of observability, cloud computing, and infrastructure. While experience in these domains is valuable, what matters most is your ability to turn technical complexity into clear, user-friendly solutions.

In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and subject matter experts to deeply understand customer needs and design innovative solutions that meet them. Your work will directly shape how customers monitor, manage, and gain insight into their containerized environments, enabling them to succeed at scale.
