About the job
Join Datadog, a leader in cloud monitoring and observability, where we harness the power of AI to enhance our platform's capabilities. Our mission is to streamline monitoring, accelerate incident resolution, and ensure data integrity for cloud applications.
The Deployment Gates team is at the forefront of creating innovative, customer-centric systems that determine the readiness of software for production. These systems play a crucial role in CI/CD pipelines, utilizing observability data to answer a pivotal question in software delivery: Is this deployment safe to proceed based on our current knowledge?
As a Senior AI Engineer, you will:
- Advance Deployment Gates from static rules to AI-driven decisions, leveraging Datadog telemetry to identify and prevent faulty changes before they reach users.
- Lead the design and implementation of progressive deployment automation, starting with conservative AI rules and evolving towards adaptive gates that learn from incidents and organizational behaviors.
- Create frameworks for autonomous remediation, linking code changes to production issues, enabling capabilities to block and roll back unsafe deployments while suggesting fixes and enforcing policies.
This role is ideal for someone with a strong product mindset, as you will engage in the entire lifecycle from problem discovery and user experience to delivering reliable, scalable production systems.
At Datadog, we value our office culture - the relationships we build, the creativity we foster, and the collaboration that arises from working together. We embrace a hybrid work model to help our employees achieve a balance that suits their lifestyle.
