[OpenNash Jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/) / [Datadog](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/datadog/) / Manager II, Engineering - Database Monitoring (AI)

## Job description

The Database Monitoring product is one of the fastest growing products at Datadog. We are not only monitoring databases, but providing self-healing loops on to our customers. For instance, we are building an AI agent which detects, remediates, validates, and deploys optimizations. We are seeking ambitious leaders who want to drive these initiatives from the ground up and own the lines of business which rely on them. You will help build and develop engineering teams, partner closely with Product, and help launch new capabilities that deliver measurable value to developers.

AI-forward leaders with product engineering backgrounds will thrive in this role. At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships that it builds, the creativity it brings to the table, and the collaboration of being together. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

### What You’ll Do
