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 that 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 feature delivery from strategy to rollout, and establishing testing methodologies to enhance platform reliability 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 APIs, driver development, and systems programming, as well as a track record of building high-performance production software on diverse Linux distributions.
