Senior Technical Program Manager

What We Expect:

These are the expectations we hold for every TPM at Datadog.

• Technical depth, product domain expertise, and AI systems literacy; knowing how AI solutions work, where they fail, and the scope and impact of those failures. AI brings more complexity into the picture - the technical bar is higher, not lower.
• Build the systems that reduce the need for coordination
• Identify what matters before anyone asks, and automate the rest
• Engineer program lifecycles end-to-end
• See what no single team can see and own the solution
• Drive the company's most technically complex and consequential bets through cross-functional agreement, organizational visibility, and influence
• Build AI powered automation tools and deploy them at every stage of program execution

See Across: Identify What No Single Team Can See

• Own large cross-functional programs spanning multiple engineering orgs, product, and business functions
• Proactively surface systemic risks, cross-pod dependencies, and organizational friction before they become escalations
• Build and maintain SVP-level visibility through tracked KPIs on Datadog’s highest-priority initiatives
• Uses technical credibility, trusted relationships, and product domain expertise to bridge the gaps between functions where misalignment is expensive

Engineer Away: Automate What Shouldn’t Require Humans

• Identify repeatable program archetypes and engineer the lifecycle end-to-end with AI solutions; the goal is to make the program run itself
• Build automation that reduces the need for coordination, eliminating program overhead so engineers and PMs spend time only on work requiring human judgment
• Contribute to the TPM toolkit: AI-powered risk synthesis, dependency tracking, stakeholder mapping, and program templates
• Drive the shift from manual coordination to self-executing program infrastructure

Drive Completion: Move The Company’s Most Complex Bets Forward

• Lead programs across four archetypes: deep technical, large cross-functional, product delivery, and operational
• Accelerate alignment by removing friction and overhead, not by adding process.
• Hold the judgment call on when to escalate, when to slow down, when a technical decision has organizational implications
• Own outcomes, not activities - your value is measured by what ships and what never had the chance to become a problem
