Youll join a high-impact team tackling ambitious technical challenges-like decoding traffic across multiple protocols, and ensuring high-fidelity metrics in complex, real-world environments. Youll be expected to lead design and implementation efforts, contribute to roadmap planning, and collaborate across teams to ensure our solution remains robust, scalable, and frictionless for our users.
This role is a great fit for engineers who thrive on low-level, performance-sensitive problems, and want to shape the future of observability through cutting-edge kernel technology.
What Youll Do:
Design and build core components of our zero-instrumentation APM product using eBPF and Go.
Develop systems to auto-discover services, classify L7 protocols, and extract RED metrics from both plaintext and TLS traffic.
Solve complex challenges around protocol parsing, encryption handling, and performance at the kernel level.
Ensure broad compatibility across Linux kernel versions, distributions, and diverse customer environments.
Collaborate across teams to drive technical direction, improve reliability, and scale the system for production use.
You have significant experience in backend or systems-level development, with strong proficiency in Go or similar languages (C/C++).
Youre comfortable working close to the Linux kernel and have experience (or interest) in eBPF, networking, or observability tooling.
You care deeply about performance and efficiency.
Youve built or operated scalable systems in complex environments and understand how to design for reliability and compatibility.
You thrive in a fast-paced, technically deep environment, and are excited to solve hard problems with a small, focused team.
Youre excited about leveraging AI tools to enhance how you code, solve problems, and build – or eager to learn how.
