Highly skilled Datadog Observability Engineer with strong expertise in observability, application performance monitoring (APM), log management, and infrastructure monitoring across hybrid and cloud-native environments. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in designing, implementing, and optimizing Datadog-based monitoring solutions for large-scale enterprise systems, ensuring high availability, performance, and security. This role requires deep technical proficiency in Datadog platform capabilities, including APM, Infrastructure Monitoring, Log Management, Synthetic Monitoring, and Real User Monitoring (RUM). The candidate should also have strong knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), container orchestration (Kubernetes), and integration with CI/CD pipelines. The engineer will play a key role in standardizing observability practices, developing custom dashboards and alerts, implementing monitoring-as-code, and enabling proactive incident detection and resolution. Collaboration with application, platform, and security teams is essential to improve operational visibility, reduce MTTR, and enhance overall SRE and Datadog maturity.
