What does an eBPF engineer do?
Career: Ebpf
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.
