Datadog builds an observability and security platform that unifies visibility across applications, infrastructure, data, models and security for the AI era. The Senior Product Security Engineer – AI Agents will focus on Bits Code, Datadog’s cloud coding agent that automatically remediates issues surfaced by the platform. Day‑to‑day responsibilities include shaping the security architecture of Bits Code from design through production, creating threat models for agent‑specific risks such as prompt injection, and collaborating with engineering, product, infrastructure and security teams to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities. The role involves writing and maintaining core libraries that enable secure execution of untrusted workloads in sandbox environments, guiding secure development processes, and participating in on‑call rotations to ensure rapid response to security incidents. Candidates should have a background in product or application security, experience securing systems that cross trust boundaries, and a track record of building and operating full‑stack systems at scale. Familiarity with security challenges in agentic AI systems and the ability to make pragmatic trade‑offs are essential. The position is offered in a hybrid workplace across many U.S. locations, allowing flexibility while maintaining in‑person collaboration.
