Senior Software Engineer

Overview

Senior Software Engineer on the Pipeline Control team, which builds and runs the product that manages customers' telemetry pipelines at GB/s scale.

What you'll do

• Build and operate big-data-scale pipeline services that ingest, route, transform and deliver telemetry at GB/s throughput.
• Lead design and architecture for new features and scale-ups.
• Write design docs, weigh trade-offs across throughput, cost and reliability, and drive decisions with partner teams.
• Mentor teammates through code reviews, design reviews and pairing, and help raise the team's engineering standards.
• Own your services in production: observability, on-call, incident response and performance tuning.
• Work with product and other engineering teams to turn customer needs into well-scoped technical work.

What you'll need

• 8+ years of software engineering experience.
• 4+ years building distributed, high-throughput data systems (streaming or batch pipelines).
• Strong production experience in Go and/or Java, and willingness to work in both.
• Solid grounding in distributed systems: partitioning, backpressure, delivery guarantees, failure handling and consistency trade-offs.
• Hands-on experience with Kafka (or an equivalent such as Kinesis or Pulsar), Kubernetes, and a major cloud provider (AWS preferred).
• Experience designing and owning services from design doc through rollout and operation.
• Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical decisions.
• BTech/BE/MTech/ME in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to have

• OpenTelemetry experience, especially the Collector (receivers, processors, exporters) and OpAMP.
• Familiarity with Apache Iceberg, Parquet and query engines.
• Background in observability (logs, metrics, traces) or building telemetry pipelines.
• Performance profiling and tuning of Go or JVM services (memory, GC, CPU, network).
• Multi-cloud or multi-region experience.
