We build tooling and agent functionality for product teams utilizing eBPF (Network Performance Monitoring, Universal Service Monitoring, Cloud Workload Security, GPU Monitoring), enable new teams exploring eBPF, and centralize deep kernel expertise across the organization. The team contributes to open source projects such as btfhub and cilium/ebpf. Datadog is investing heavily in GPU Monitoring to give customers deep visibility into GPU utilization, health, and performance across their infrastructure. The eBPF Platform team builds the agent-side foundation that makes this possible, from eBPF programs that capture GPU activity at the kernel level, to the metrics pipelines and validation infrastructure that ensure data quality at scale. In this role, you will work at the intersection of eBPF, the Linux kernel, and GPU infrastructure. You'll contribute to GPU Monitoring capabilities within the Datadog Agent while also working across the broader eBPF platform, investigating production incidents, improving reliability, and helping shape the architecture of one of the most widely deployed eBPF solutions in the industry. At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them. What You'll Do: * Contribute to GPU Monitoring feature development end-to-end, from ideation to implementation within the Datadog Agent * Build and maintain shared eBPF functionality for product teams to use in their eBPF-based products * Investigate and debug complex production issues that span the kernel, eBPF programs, and agent runtime * Research, prototype, develop, and document solutions to hard problems in the eBPF and GPU monitoring space * Provide technical input to product and architecture decisions ## Related Videos - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [Debugging in the Dark](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1658-debugging-in-the-dark) - [Swapping Low Latency Data Storage Under High Load](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/746-swapping-low-latency-data-storage-under-high-load) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Into the hive of eBPF!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1199-into-the-hive-of-ebpf) - [Gentle Introduction to eBPF](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/789-gentle-introduction-to-ebpf) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [How Much FAANG Companies Actually Pay Software Engineers in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/230-how-much-faang-companies-actually-pay-software-engineers-in-2025)
