Senior Backend Engineer- Platform Team

About The Job

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Platform team. You will be part of a highly skilled group working on both our open-source project and enterprise offering, Odigos. Our stack primarily includes Go (backend) and Next.js (frontend), with extensive use of Kubernetes, so we're looking for someone proficient in these technologies. If you're passionate about open source and excited about making distributed tracing accessible and straightforward for developers, we'd love to hear from you!

About Us

Developers today struggle to extract and deliver high-quality monitoring data. Building an observability pipeline is a slow, manual process that takes months, requires extensive code changes across multiple R&D teams, and demands tight collaboration.

Odigos eliminates this complexity with an open-source solution that automatically generates distributed traces for any application, without any engineering work. By leveraging eBPF technology, Odigos enables seamless observability, making it easier than ever for developers to gain deep insights into their systems.

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain both backend and frontend components of our open-source and enterprise products.
• Work on backend development using Go.
• Build and enhance our frontend architecture using React and Next.js, including design systems and open-source contributions.
• Contribute to large-scale observability and telemetry solutions, working with OpenTelemetry and high-scale data pipelines.
• Engage with the developer community and contribute to our growing open-source ecosystem.
  
  

• 5+ years of experience as a Backend or Full-Stack Engineer.
• Strong expertise in backend development (Go preferred but not required, experience with modern backend languages is sufficient).
• Experience in developing complex UI components.
• Experience in optimizing application performance.
  
  

• Proficiency in Go and Kubernetese.
• Strong frontend skills in React (Next.js experience preferred).
• Familiarity with OpenTelemetry and observability tools.
• Experience working in a cloud environment with microservices architecture.
• GraphQL experience is a plus.
