About the role
Datadog is entering a new chapter in how our product looks, feels and operates. We’re building a small, high-leverage Design Lab team to define that evolution, and we’re looking for a Staff Visual Designer to help author it.
Our design system powers everything we ship. Now we’re ready to evolve it. As Datadog expands into AI-driven experiences and more complex product surfaces, the visual language needs to grow with it. We’re looking for someone who can help define that next phase, someone with taste, judgment, and the confidence to shape how the product feels at scale.
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
Define and evolve Datadog’s visual language across product surfaces.
Establish the visual quality bar for the platform.
Lead exploratory and concept work that pushes our system forward.
Translate bold visual ideas into scalable patterns that can live inside a design system.
Partner deeply with Brand, Product Design, and Design Systems to unify expression across product and marketing.
Influence executive stakeholders through clear, compelling visual storytelling.
Prototype, test, and refine new patterns before they become systemized.

You can influence across design, engineering, and executive partners.
Your portfolio demonstrates exceptional visual craft and product thinking — not just applied systems work.
