Datadog is hiring a Product Designer

About the Role

Shape the future of motion and interaction design within a scalable design system. As a Senior Product Designer focused on motion, you'll lead the creation of dynamic experience patterns that integrate seamlessly with AI-first workflows. Your work will influence how users interact with complex data through thoughtful animation, transitions, and visual feedback across platforms.

What You’ll Do

  • Define and evolve the visual language of motion across the product suite, establishing system-level standards for behavior and timing
  • Build and maintain the motion component library, including coded tokens, SVG animations, and interactive states
  • Develop high-fidelity prototypes using AI-enhanced tools to explore and validate new interaction models
  • Collaborate with design systems engineers to ensure precise implementation and performance optimization
  • Align motion strategies with broader brand and product design direction to maintain consistency and clarity

What We’re Looking For

  • 7+ years of product design experience, with significant focus on interaction design and design systems
  • Demonstrated ability to translate design concepts into production-ready motion specifications using code
  • Proficiency in Figma, React, SVG, CSS, and emerging AI-powered design tools
  • Strong communication skills with experience articulating design rationale to cross-functional teams
  • Experience mentoring peers, giving constructive critique, and contributing to a culture of design excellence

Our Environment

We support growth through continuous learning, internal mentorship, and employee-led communities focused on inclusion and innovation. Our hybrid model supports flexibility while preserving space for collaboration and connection. We value thoughtful risk-taking, technical craftsmanship, and shared success.
