We are looking for a Datadog Observability & Monitoring Engineer to take ownership of their Observability platform and drive adoption across the development and infrastructure teams within the organization.

Responsibilities:

• The primary initiative is consolidating several monitoring platforms into Datadog as the client’s chosen enterprise observability platform

• Ideal candidate will lead and evolve our observability strategy across cloud and on-premises environments; You will serve as the primary owner and subject matter expert for their Datadog platform – building, scaling, and operating a comprehensive monitoring solution that continuously validates service health (24/7) across business-critical systems, including external websites and key infrastructure components (e.g., firewalls, OpenShift)
• Design and implement end-to-end observability solutions spanning logs, metrics, traces, Service Level Objectives (SLOs), synthetic monitoring, and Real User Monitoring (RUM) to improve reliability, accelerate incident response, and deliver clear visibility into service performance
• Partner closely with application, SRE/DevOps, infrastructure, and security teams and serve as the internal champion and evangelist for Datadog adoption, standards, and best practices; The environment includes an active migration from OpenView to Datadog, with workflows integrating into ServiceNow for incident routing and escalation
