Senior Software Engineer - IDE AI Experiences - LLM Engineer
We’re building a new team building to bring the power of Datadog to developers within AI-focused IDE experiences such as Cursor and GitHub Copilot.
We’re looking for product-minded engineers who are excited about developer tools, to help us quickly define and ship IDE experiences that make all Datadog customers 10x developers.
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:
- Work on prompts, evals, and agent tools for working with code as part of the Datadog MCP server, and on the engineering to productionize these systems and integrate them within our customer’s IDE
- Help conceptualize and build innovative UIs within the Datadog Cursor / VSCode extension that work hand in hand with our groundbreaking AI experiences.
- Prototype and see what works well in the real world, iterate closely with our users, and then ship
- Follow the latest research on LLM prompt optimization, agents, and code editing.
- Support other Datadog product teams to help them build and productionize their developer-focused MCP toolings. For example, you’ll work with the Live Debugger team to create an agentic production debugging experience, delivering on the vision of “one click to reproduce” for production errors.
Who You Are:
- You’re a backend engineer with at least 5 years of professional experience who values code simplicity and performance. You’ve shipped software that uses LLMs to production
- You are passionate about Generative AI and its ability to help software engineers be more productive
- You have relevant experience with Large Language Models, large-scale systems and data sets, machine learning, or adjacent fields
- You are a great community ambassador and can drive hard technical conversations towards a pragmatic solution
- You want to work in a fast, high-growth startup environment that respects its engineers and customers
- You have experience writing developer tools (such as IDEs, static code analysis tools, or compilers)
- You have a BS/MS/PhD in a Computer Science, Engineering or related scientific field or equivalent experience
