Senior Product Designer - Graphing Experience - job 2 of 2

About Datadog:

We're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams. We operate at high scale—trillions of data points per day—allowing for seamless collaboration and problem-solving among Dev, Ops and Security teams globally for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.

The Team:

The Product Design team works on embedded cross-functional teams, collaborating closely with PMs and engineers on major product areas. You will be embedded with the Graphing Experience team, which owns the UI for customers to create their own Dashboards, Notebooks, and other graphs across the Datadog platform.

We’re looking for a product designer with a passion for designing dynamic workflows and untangling technical problems. This team builds the experiences that every Datadog user will interact with: real-time dashboards, data-driven notebooks, and the design patterns that scale across our other products. 

The Opportunity:

As a part of the Graphing Experience team, you'll work on some of our most technical design problems. You’ll act as a leader within the product design team, collaborating with other designers to make their product’s graphing experiences better.

Collaborating with designers and product teams across the company to improve search behavior

Identifying and designing features to help customers customize their graphs

Improving the design of our JSON editor

Developing the broader UI and UX vision that these features are a part of

This is a core part of the product experience, and you’ll join at an ideal time to make a big impact. 

We are expanding globally, designing and building multiple new products, and leveraging DesignOps to speed up and scale our efforts. You’ll be involved in every step of the process—defining products, collaborating with PMs and engineering leads, and researching, prototyping, and scaling design with new systems.

You Will:

Prototype rich interactions and micro-interactions to query data and configure visualizations, partnering with engineers when necessary

Work with customer success engineers and product managers 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

Develop a relationship with your engineering team to understand how your designs will be built and how you can provide quality assurance.
