• Lead architectural decisions for new and existing GPU-based observability products
• Identify opportunities for Datadog product enhancements to provide coverage for GPUs
• Contribute to short- and long-term planning and roadmap development
  
  

Who You Are:

• You have several years of experience leading cross-team initiatives in a platform or infrastructure-focused environment
