Product Manager II - Identity Security

As a Product Manager for Identity Security you'll be responsible for building cloud identity and access security capabilities for Datadog's Cloud Security Management product. Security teams today lack visibility into the thousands of human and non‑human identities spread across their cloud environments, and cannot answer fundamental questions like "who can access this resource and should they?" This role will start by building a comprehensive identity inventory with a focus on non‑human identities (service accounts, IAM roles, API keys, managed identities) and identity posture rules that detect risks like unused credentials, missing MFA, and over‑privileged service accounts, then expand into effective permissions analysis and identity‑to‑resource mapping within Datadog's security graph.

You will partner with engineers, designers, and go‑to‑market teams to define this new product area and drive customer adoption and revenue growth.

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.
