Software Engineer - OpenTelemetry and Datadog Agent - Remote

Posted 4 days ago

Overview

The Datadog Agent is software that runs on customer infrastructure and supports a wide range of platforms. It efficiently collects observability data from millions of hosts and sends them to Datadog, where our customers can analyze their monitoring and performance data. OpenTelemetry (OTel) is an open source, vendor-neutral observability solution that allows teams to monitor their applications and services in a standardized format.

We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer who will help us ensure that OpenTelemetry users deploying the open-source Datadog Agent can get access to all of Datadog's industry-leading observability solutions and can continue to leverage OpenTelemetry-specific capabilities (via the embedded OTel Collector). Come join us to unlock new observability capabilities across millions of Agents, for technical customers who care deeply about what you build.

In Short

  • Develop high-performance OTel observability pipelines in the Datadog Agent, running on customers’ infrastructures and targeting a large number of platforms / environments / deployment models, with Datadog-specific and upstream OpenTelemetry contributions
  • Simplify customers’ onboarding and management of OTel pipelines with Fleet Management capabilities
  • Review community contributions to Datadog-related components of OTel
  • Take part in investigating and fixing issues with the internal production deployment of the Datadog Agent
  • With your team, be a driving force in product decisions and plan the most important projects to work on next

Requirements

  • You have been building software for 5+ years and know the systems you’ve worked on from top to bottom
  • You have significant experience in one or more programming languages such as Go, Java, Rust, .NET or C/C++
  • You value code simplicity and performance
  • You are data driven and use observability products
  • You want to work in a fast, high-growth environment that respects its engineers and customers
  • You are motivated by solving problems for our customers

Benefits

  • New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
  • Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing
  • Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking
  • An inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (Datadog employee resource groups)
  • Access to Inclusion Talks, our internal panel discussions
  • Free, global mental health benefits for employees and dependents age 6+
  • Competitive global benefits
