About the role
The Product Solutions Architecture (PSA) team acts as a technical multiplier across Datadog. PSAs are domain experts who partner with Field teams on complex customer use cases across pre- and post-sales engagements and scale their impact by producing reusable collateral, including reference architectures, technical guides, and enablement assets. By feeding real-world customer insights back to Datadog Product teams, PSAs help influence product roadmaps while accelerating adoption, usage, and long-term customer success. Datadog's Cloud Cost Management (CCM) suite helps Platform, Application Teams, Operations, FinOps, and Finance teams understand, allocate, and reduce cloud spend by putting cost data next to the observability data that explains it. As a Product Solutions Architect, you will partner closely with Datadog customers and the Cloud Cost Management product team to design product use cases, implement best practices, and drive adoption of CCM across customer environments. This includes infrastructure cost allocation, cloud costs, token usage, container costs, budgets, and optimization recommendations. 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.
