Ideal candidates have at least five years of experience in backend engineering with proficiency in Go, Java, or Python, a passion for generative AI, and a track record of shipping software that leverages LLMs to production. Experience in large-scale systems, data sets, machine learning, and developer tool development is highly valued.

What you'll do

  • Develop LLM-based agents in collaboration with designers, PMs, and data scientists.
  • Create prompts, evaluations, and tools for code-related tasks and productionize these systems.
  • Prototype new features, gather user feedback, and refine products based on real-world testing.
  • Stay updated with the latest research on LLM prompting, agent development, and code editing techniques.
  • Integrate AI-assisted tools with Datadog’s existing IDE extensions and dynamic instrumentation capabilities.
