Job Description
Platform Engineer — Observability SME (Senior Platform Engineer)
Location:
Remote, India |
Reports to:
Director, Cloud Delivery Platform (US-based)
Role Overview
Join our global platform engineering team as our dedicated Observability Subject Matter Expert. In this role you will own the day-to-day operation, adoption, and continuous improvement of an established enterprise observability platform built on Datadog. Working closely with North America and Europe-based architects, you will drive product team onboarding onto the shared observability standard, lead migrations from fragmented legacy tooling, enable teams to improve their observability maturity, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of the platform as the portfolio scales.
Key Responsibilities
Observability Platform Operations:
Own the ongoing configuration, health, and governance of the shared Datadog tenant — maintaining tagging standards, RBAC, agent configurations, log pipelines, monitors, and dashboards as the portfolio grows and the platform evolves.
Product Onboarding:
Lead the structured onboarding of product teams onto the shared observability standard, working directly with Dev Ops leads to deploy agents, configure APM instrumentation, establish baseline monitors, and validate compliance with platform standards.
Migration Execution:
Plan and execute migrations of product teams from fragmented or non-standard observability tooling onto the shared Datadog platform, prioritizing by product criticality and coordinating with product teams to minimize disruption.
APM Adoption:
Drive APM instrumentation across the portfolio, working with development teams to instrument applications for distributed tracing using Datadog APM libraries appropriate to each runtime.
Maturity Enablement:
Support product teams in progressing through the observability maturity framework — from baseline instrumentation through operational monitoring and SLO definition — providing hands-on guidance, runbooks, and training to build self-sufficiency.
Incident Response Support:
Collaborate with operational teams to ensure alert routing, escalation paths, and incident management integrations are correctly configured and maintained across all onboarded products.
Cost Governance:
Monitor Datadog log ingestion volumes, custom metric cardinality, and index usage across the shared tenant. Enforce retention policies and exclusion filters to keep costs predictable as adoption scales.
Platform Evolution:
Contribute to the continuous improvement of the observability platform — identifying gaps, proposing enhancements, and working with the architecture team to implement improvements that benefit the full portfolio.
Community and Enablement:
Serve as the observability lead within the Cloud Center of Excellence Community of Practice — running enablement sessions, publishing best practices, and acting as the primary point of contact for observability questions across the organization.

Deep hands-on expertise with Datadog across the full product surface:
Infrastructure Monitoring, APM, Log Management, Synthetics, Dashboards, Monitors, and Alerts
Strong experience operating shared Datadog tenants at enterprise scale, including tagging strategy, RBAC, and multi-team configuration management
