Senior Datadog Security & Observability Engineer

Description

Keeper is hiring a talented Senior DataDog Engineer to join our DevOps team. This can be a 100% remote position from select locations with an opportunity to work a hybrid schedule for candidates based in the El Dorado Hills, CA or Chicago, IL metro area.

Keeper’s cybersecurity software is trusted by millions of people and thousands of organizations globally. Keeper is published in 23 languages and sold in over 150 countries. Join one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity companies and help scale the Datadog platform that supports Keeper’s security visibility, detection maturity and operational readiness.

About the Job

This is a Datadog-first security engineering role focused on detection engineering, SIEM operations and security observability across Keeper’s production and corporate environments. The ideal candidate has deep, hands-on experience administering and scaling Datadog, including Cloud SIEM, log management, security monitoring, dashboards, monitors and telemetry pipelines. Reporting to the Director of IT and Security, this role will partner closely with Security Operations, Infrastructure, SRE and Engineering teams to ensure logs, metrics, traces and endpoint signals are actionable, scalable and aligned to real-world threat scenarios. General SIEM experience without substantial production experience in Datadog will not be sufficient for this role.

• Improve alert quality by reducing false positives, eliminating noise and increasing detection accuracy
• Design and maintain Datadog log pipelines, processors, parsing rules, facets, indexes, archives and retention strategies
• Implement and mature detection-as-code practices for scalable, version-controlled and testable rule management
• Define and enforce logging, telemetry and instrumentation standards across cloud infrastructure, applications, endpoints and identity systems
• Build and optimize log ingestion, parsing, normalization, enrichment and routing workflows
• Automate onboarding of new telemetry sources and improve visibility across production and corporate environments
• Correlate signals across Datadog, EDR, cloud, identity and security platforms to improve detection depth and investigation quality
• Partner with Security Operations to improve triage workflows, incident response readiness and escalation quality
• Build Datadog dashboards, monitors, analytics and reporting that support operational decision-making across Security, SRE and Engineering
• Map and maintain detection coverage against MITRE ATT&CK and identify telemetry and detection gaps
