Senior Sales Engineer - AI Accounts

Datadog

Remote · United States$12,417–16,500 gross/mofull-timeDatadog Careers

As a Senior Sales Engineer on Datadog's AI Accounts team, you'll serve as the technical lead for a small portfolio of the world's leading AI labs — accounts that today represent a meaningful share of Datadog's revenue and are growing faster than any cohort in our business. You'll own the technical relationship end to end, work shoulder-to-shoulder with customer engineering teams in production, and help define how Datadog shows up for a cohort whose buying behavior looks nothing like traditional enterprise.

Responsibilities

  • Own the technical relationship across a small portfolio of AI labs, go deep on how each customer trains, serves, and scales their models (and/or the downstream products and platforms), and become the person their engineers call first
  • Partner with your AE to drive expansion inside accounts that grow unpredictably and fast: identify new workloads and teams as they spin up, and get in front of them before a need becomes a ticket
  • Lead discovery inside flat, engineering-led organizations where influence sits with individual contributors rather than titles, and where there are no formal scoping calls to rely on
  • Run full-scale POVs in production rather than controlled pilots: instrument real workloads at real scale, prove value against the customer's own success criteria, and work through the operational realities of doing that safely
  • Act as an extension of the customer’s engineering/observability team rather than an external operator - this requires judgment about which standard gates serve the customer and which to break
  • Work Slack-native and asynchronously as the default, with the responsiveness and proactive posture these accounts expect: flag new features, bugs, and incidents before they ask
  • Bring product and engineering in early and often, and close the loop fast — leadership needs near-real-time signal from this cohort, and you'll be a primary source of it
  • Deliver technical narratives that land with engineers who pay for capability first and rationalize cost second - savings is a downstream conversation, not an opener
  • Build reusable assets and patterns from each engagement so the next lab onboards faster than the last
  • Keep activity, deal progress, and customer context documented and current
