AI rules for candidates — Datadog’s policy, updated 13 May 2026, allows AI support for preparation, accurate applications and original take-home work. Do not use AI during a live interview unless specifically told in advance that it is permitted. The announced AI coding exception applies to certain engineering roles; do not assume it covers a sales-engineer interview.
