As a Staff Software Engineer on Datadog’s Security Agent team, you will lead the design and development of low-level Linux instrumentation and runtime security technologies to help customers detect threats and protect cloud-native workloads at scale. Your day-to-day responsibilities include architecting eBPF-based monitoring functionality for process, file, and network visibility, driving end-to-end delivery of new features, and establishing testing methodologies that enhance platform coverage and performance. You will collaborate with product, security, infrastructure, and engineering teams to deliver shared capabilities used across multiple Datadog products while providing technical leadership through mentoring peers and resolving complex challenges. This role requires expertise in Linux internals, eBPF, kernel-level instrumentation, driver development, and networking systems, as well as experience building high-performance and reliable production software on diverse Linux distributions.
