Senior Product Solutions Architect - LLM Observability

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 LLM Observability product enables organizations to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize large-scale LLM-powered applications with confidence, while meeting requirements around data privacy, compliance, and cost management. As a Product Solutions Architect, you will partner closely with Datadog customers and the LLM Observability product team to design architectures, implement best practices, and drive adoption of LLM observability across customer environments.
