## Description

Code Intelligence sits at the intersection of agentic engineering and product, running agents against real customer source code in production. This is a chance to own an AI-native team at the center of a business-critical growth area. High visibility, high leverage, and squarely in the fastest-growing part of the AI agent space.
 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 employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them. 
 What You'll Do: 
• Lead and develop an existing engineering team, building trust, setting technical direction, and establishing a high bar for ownership and execution.
• Own the roadmap and execution across four areas: source code indexing, PR Agentic Reviewers (agents that generate artifacts like metric descriptions on customer pull requests), shift-left work (extending code-writing agents to make direct changes to customer repos), and closed-loop feedback and evaluation systems including LLM-as-judge.
• Set the team's product strategy independently while partnering day-to-day with product teams company-wide — this team functions as its own product org.
• Build and operate scaled LLM and agent software in production: LLM APIs, agent frameworks, harness and tool-use layers, prompt and eval tooling, and closed-loop evaluation systems that measure and improve agent output quality.
• Partner closely with customers and internal stakeholders to deeply understand needs and translate them into technical direc
