We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our growing Cloud Security team, one of the fastest-growing areas in Datadog’s portfolio.
Datadog’s Cloud Security product is a high-growth, early-stage area within the company, focused on helping organizations secure their cloud environments through misconfiguration detection, CIEM, and compliance monitoring. As a designer on this team, you'll play a foundational role in shaping a rapidly evolving product with high technical complexity, deep user impact, and strong executive investment.
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:
- Lead end-to-end design initiatives across Security, from research and information architecture to prototyping and implementation.
- Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and other designers to shape product strategy and drive cohesive, high-quality user experiences.
- Influence core features that cut across Security products such as onboarding, notifications, remediation flows, overview dashboards, and more.
- Participate in pushing the Datadog Security vision forward, helping set long-term direction and ensuring execution aligns with user and business needs.
- Conduct or contribute to user research to inform design decisions and validate assumptions.
- Run design workshops and apply frameworks that drive alignment and clarity around complex, ambiguous challenges.
- Share your expertise and mentor others on design best practices, systems thinking, and storytelling.
Who You Are:
- You have 5+ years of experience designing digital products, with a portfolio demonstrating strong UX craft and ownership over complex, system-driven experiences.
- You’re confident in simplifying technical workflows for users such as developers, SREs, or security teams.
- You bring deep systems thinking and are comfortable designing for highly interconnected platforms.
- You’re skilled with tools like Figma, and you're able to prototype and iterate quickly.
- You communicate clearly and persuasively, adapting your message to different audiences (engineering, PMs, execs).
- You thrive in high-ambiguity environments, actively shaping both the problem and solution spaces.
- You value collaboration and feedback, and you know how to build trust across functions.
Bonus points if you have:
- Designed for technical users (e.g., developers, SREs, security engineers)
- Designing data-heavy products or policy management tools.
- Designed interfaces involving Complex graph visualisations , posture or compliance analysis.
- Experience in Cybersecurity / Cloud Security, or familiarity with CSPM or CIEM platforms.
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.
Why You'll Love This Role:
- Rapidly evolving product: you'll play a foundational role in shaping a rapidly evolving product with high technical complexity, deep user impact, and strong executive investment.
- End-to-end ownership: You’ll have influence over strategy, prioritization, and execution, not just UI.
- Transversal design challenges: You’ll tackle features that span across the Security org, giving you broad visibility and a rich variety of problems to solve.
- A collaborative, high-bar team: Join designers, PMs, and engineers who care deeply about delivering polished, purposeful solutions.
Benefits and Growth:
- New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
- Career growth programs, mentorships, and learning stipends
- Inclusive culture and community groups (e.g., employee resource groups, Inclusion Talks)
- Global mental health benefits for employees and dependents aged 6+
- Competitive global benefits package
Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.
