Ebpf information

What does an eBPF job involve?

An eBPF job typically involves working with extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) technology to enhance Linux kernel functionality without modifying its source code. Responsibilities may include developing eBPF programs for performance monitoring, security enforcement, and networking optimizations. Engineers in this role often work with low-level system internals, C programming, and tools like BPF Compiler Collection (BCC) or eBPF Toolkit. They may collaborate with teams to improve observability, troubleshoot system behavior, and optimize application performance.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Ebpf position, and why are they important?

To thrive as an eBPF Engineer, you need deep expertise in Linux internals, networking, C programming, and familiarity with low-level systems debugging. Experience with eBPF tooling (such as bpftrace, bpftool, or LLVM), familiarity with kernel development environments, and optionally certifications in Linux or networking are highly valuable. Strong problem-solving ability, attention to detail, and effective communication with cross-functional teams are important soft skills for this position. These skills and qualities are critical for developing safe, performant, and maintainable eBPF programs that enhance system observability and security in complex environments.

What are the typical day-to-day responsibilities of an eBPF Engineer?

As an eBPF Engineer, your daily tasks often involve designing, implementing, and testing eBPF programs to improve system observability, performance monitoring, or security features within Linux-based environments. You may collaborate with software, DevOps, or security teams to integrate eBPF tools into CI/CD pipelines, troubleshoot kernel-level issues, and optimize network or system metrics collection. Regular code reviews, contributing to open-source eBPF projects, and keeping up-to-date with new kernel and eBPF features are also common aspects of the role. This environment is highly collaborative and technical, offering valuable opportunities to work at the forefront of systems engineering and to advance your career in cloud infrastructure or security engineering.

Job description

We want people who are passionate about solving large scale complex distributed systems challenges.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with expertise in Distributed Systems and Networking to build cutting edge Network Software that will run on tens of thousands of hypervisors and bare-metal servers across our global infrastructure network. You will be responsible for building the next generation of software-defined networking on our platform: providing flexible, yet simple, primitives that our customers have come to love.

What You'll Be Doing:
  • Designing and building highly efficient scalable services to enable network datapath for the next generation of features such as Virtual Private Cloud, Floating IPs and internal tooling for the virtual network stack to scale across hundreds of thousands of customer droplets.
  • Work on new architecture initiatives to build systems that enable fleet optimization such as optimizing the virtual networking stack to reduce CAPEX / OPEX.
  • Solving problems in network performance while leveraging on concepts of distributed systems to reduce performance bottlenecks, single points of failures and inter-dependencies of our many regions across the globe.
  • Solving complex data modeling challenges that have come into existence due to the hyper growth of DigitalOcean such as - our growing inventory of IP addresses, future transition to IPv6 and support for our core network primitives, creating flexible and composable virtual nics and more!
  • Diving deep into the ocean of highly available & fault-tolerant virtual networking.
  • Debugging/troubleshooting complex production issues across datacenters in real time and enhancing our playbooks and automation to counter their recurrence.
  • Participating in a team effort to improve visibility on various network metrics.
  • Using technologies and tools such as: Linux, Go, GRPC, Docker, Open vSwitch, eBPF, Prometheus, MySQL, and others!
What We'll Expect From You:
  • Expertise with languages like Go, C, C++ along with scripting skills. Go is a plus.
  • Experience developing scalable, resilient and fault tolerant network software for highly distributed systems.
  • Understanding of the OSI network model.
  • Hands-on experience working on Linux networking including tools for network I/O performance tuning is a huge plus.
  • Bonus: Prior development experience around firewalls, web security, IDP/IPS, eBPF, XDP, development of datapath for packet routing and forwarding is a huge plus!
  • Ability to self-organize, take ownership, initiative and clearly communicate intent. Ours is a completely remote team so the ability to communicate effectively in a remote environment is key to being a part of this team and its success.
  • Be ready and responsible for taking complex challenges that come up in a fast-paced environment.
Compensation Range: 
  • $139,000 - $174,000
