What is an Observability eBPF engineer?

An Observability eBPF Engineer is a specialist who leverages eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) technology to improve system observability, monitoring, and performance analysis. They design and implement tools that collect deep insights from operating systems and applications without significant overhead. Their work involves writing eBPF programs, integrating them with observability platforms, and ensuring that systems can be monitored securely and efficiently. These engineers often collaborate with SRE, DevOps, and security teams to enable better troubleshooting and incident response. Their expertise is crucial for modern cloud-native environments where traditional monitoring tools may fall short.

How does an Observability eBPF engineer typically collaborate with development and operations teams?

An Observability eBPF engineer works closely with both development and operations teams to instrument applications and infrastructure, ensuring that performance and security metrics are accurately collected in real-time. They often participate in designing monitoring solutions, troubleshooting complex issues, and providing actionable insights that improve system reliability. Regular collaboration involves sharing findings, recommending optimizations, and integrating observability tools into CI/CD pipelines. This role requires effective communication skills to translate technical metrics into meaningful information for broader teams.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Observability eBPF engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Observability eBPF Engineer, you need a solid background in systems programming, Linux internals, networking, and experience with eBPF technology, often supported by a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and distributed tracing systems, as well as proficiency in languages like C, Go, or Rust, is essential. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for diagnosing complex issues and collaborating with cross-functional teams. These skills and qualifications are vital for building reliable, high-performance monitoring solutions and ensuring system observability at scale.

Job description

Senior Data Dog Cloud Engineer (Observability)

Work location: Hybrid- 1* week in Washington, D.C. 20002 Type: Contract-to-hire Clearance: Must be able to obtain/maintain Public Trust Compensation: $63/HR

What you’ll do (day-to-day)

You’ll be the go-to senior engineer for building and improving an enterprise observability program—using Datadog (or a comparable platform)—to help teams detect issues faster, reduce alert noise, and improve reliability in a 24x7 environment.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Build and run observability tooling across metrics, logs, traces/APM, RUM, synthetics, and network monitoring
  • Create and maintain dashboards, monitors, alerts, SLOs/SLIs that teams actually use (high signal, low noise)
  • Instrument applications and services using agents, OpenTelemetry, and language-specific APM tooling (Java, .NET, Python, Node.js, Go)
  • Improve production performance and reliability using telemetry to troubleshoot:
    • latency, saturation, capacity, errors, and dependency issues
  • Partner with cloud/platform/app teams to embed observability into:
    • AWS + Azure
    • Kubernetes/OpenShift
  • Integrate monitoring workflows with ServiceNow, CI/CD pipelines, and on-call/paging processes
  • Establish and enforce telemetry standards (tagging strategy, governance, cost control)

What we’re looking for (must-haves)

  • 8+ years in infrastructure/platform engineering (or similar), including 5+ years focused on observability/performance/SRE-type work
  • Hands-on experience operating an observability platform:
    • Datadog preferred, but Dynatrace / New Relic / Splunk Observability / Grafana+Prometheus are also relevant
  • Strong experience with APM + distributed tracing in production (including instrumentation and service mapping)
  • Production monitoring experience with Kubernetes/OpenShift
  • Cloud experience supporting monitoring/telemetry in AWS and/or Azure
  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience)
  • Ability to support an on-call rotation in a 24x7 environment

Nice-to-haves (stand out if you have them)

  • Experience in federal/government environments (FISMA, FedRAMP, NIST-aligned)
  • Datadog certifications (or comparable)
  • eBPF observability, service mesh telemetry (Istio/Linkerd)
  • Terraform/Bicep/ARM for deploying monitoring as code
  • AWS/Azure/OpenShift/Terraform certifications
