Careers
Join the NoBS Team
We hire engineers who think deeply, move fast, and take real ownership.
We’re a consulting team 100% focused on Datadog. We help senior engineers, SREs, and platform teams build observability that holds up in production.
High standards. High trust. Zero BS.
Built Different. By Design.
We don't hand you decks. We work in production.
We built NoBS to remove layers, handoffs, and performative process that slow good engineers down. Our teams work directly in production systems, designing observability that holds up under real operational pressure.
The result is fast-moving, high-impact work that actually makes it to production.
We’re Hiring Arcane Engineers
We hire for how engineers think — not what tools they already know.
Arcane engineers don’t rely on rigid playbooks or perfect information. They ask better questions, reason through ambiguity, and adapt as systems and requirements change. When something breaks, they don’t look for a checklist — they look for the signal.
At NoBS, that mindset matters more than titles or years of experience. We care about engineers who can move from production to solution with intent, take ownership in production environments, and leave systems better than they found them.
If you’re curious by default, comfortable operating without guardrails, and motivated by real operational impact, you’ll fit right in.
This Isn’t for Everyone
This role is not a fit if you’re looking for rigid playbooks, clearly defined handoffs, or highly scripted work. We operate in real production environments—often with incomplete information, evolving requirements, and real accountability.
This role is likely not a fit if you tend to:
- Expect perfect requirements before taking action
- Prefer strict process over problem-solving
- Want narrowly defined responsibilities without end-to-end ownership
- Are uncomfortable being accountable for outcomes in production systems

Observability Engineer
As an Observability Engineer at NoBS, you’ll design and evolve observability frameworks for real production systems — where reliability, performance, and clarity actually matter. You’ll work hands-on with customers and internal teams, turning messy, incomplete requirements into monitoring, alerting, and insights teams can act on.
This role is a strong fit for engineers who enjoy owning problems end-to-end, working close to production, and making data useful — not just visible.
