Responsibilities

  • 01Own the evaluation strategy for Datadog's AI agent integrations
  • 02Define the metrics — offline and online, quality and cost, single-turn and trajectory-level — that the team and the broader organization optimize against
  • 03Build the eval datasets, golden traces, and regression harnesses that catch quality changes before they hit customers, and make those assets reusable by every team contributing tools to the platform
  • 04Drive measurable improvements to retrieval relevance, tool-selection accuracy, and context efficiency, partnering closely with the AI engineers on the team who build the underlying platform
  • 05Run applied research on the open problems in agent–data interaction: tool selection under large catalogs, multi-turn agent evaluation, grounding and hallucination control on live telemetry, cost/quality tradeoffs at scale
  • 06Partner with the Bits SRE, Bits Assistant, and Bits Dev Agent teams so first-party agents benefit from the same measurement substrate as third-party integrations, and so learnings move freely in both directions
  • 07Provide technical leadership across the Agentic Interfaces team and the broader organization through design reviews, working groups, and mentorship, and represent the team externally through talks, blog posts, and contributions to the open agent ecosystem
