Senior Data Dog Cloud Engineer (Observability)
Work location: Hybrid- 1* week in Washington, D.C. 20002
Type: Contract-to-hire
Clearance: Must be able to obtain/maintain Public Trust
Compensation: $63/HR
What you’ll do (day-to-day)
You’ll be the go-to senior engineer for building and improving an enterprise observability program—using Datadog (or a comparable platform)—to help teams detect issues faster, reduce alert noise, and improve reliability in a 24x7 environment.
Key responsibilities include:
- Build and run observability tooling across metrics, logs, traces/APM, RUM, synthetics, and network monitoring
- Create and maintain dashboards, monitors, alerts, SLOs/SLIs that teams actually use (high signal, low noise)
- Instrument applications and services using agents, OpenTelemetry, and language-specific APM tooling (Java, .NET, Python, Node.js, Go)
- Improve production performance and reliability using telemetry to troubleshoot:
- latency, saturation, capacity, errors, and dependency issues
- Partner with cloud/platform/app teams to embed observability into:
- AWS + Azure
- Kubernetes/OpenShift
- Integrate monitoring workflows with ServiceNow, CI/CD pipelines, and on-call/paging processes
- Establish and enforce telemetry standards (tagging strategy, governance, cost control)
What we’re looking for (must-haves)
- 8+ years in infrastructure/platform engineering (or similar), including 5+ years focused on observability/performance/SRE-type work
- Hands-on experience operating an observability platform:
- Datadog preferred, but Dynatrace / New Relic / Splunk Observability / Grafana+Prometheus are also relevant
- Strong experience with APM + distributed tracing in production (including instrumentation and service mapping)
- Production monitoring experience with Kubernetes/OpenShift
- Cloud experience supporting monitoring/telemetry in AWS and/or Azure
- Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience)
- Ability to support an on-call rotation in a 24x7 environment
Nice-to-haves (stand out if you have them)
- Experience in federal/government environments (FISMA, FedRAMP, NIST-aligned)
- Datadog certifications (or comparable)
- eBPF observability, service mesh telemetry (Istio/Linkerd)
- Terraform/Bicep/ARM for deploying monitoring as code
- AWS/Azure/OpenShift/Terraform certifications
