What we are looking for
This is not your typical support role. If you're looking to just route customer issues to relevant engineers, you should stop reading now.
We're looking for someone who is:
Technical enough to solve complex distributed systems problems - you need to debug OpenTelemetry instrumentation issues across different tech stacks.
Great at building processes - you will create tooling, automation, and processes that help both our customers and internal teams operate more efficiently.
Someone who can scale technical operations - you will build the foundation for customer engineering function and grow into leadership as we scale.
Strong communication skills - you will frequently go on call with users for debugging issues
Who would be a good fit
2+ years experience in DevOps or engineering roles working with production systems at scale
Strong learning skills - you can quickly pick up new technologies and dive deep into complex technical problems
Hands-on experience with observability tools - SigNoz, Grafana, Prometheus, DataDog, or similar platforms
OpenTelemetry knowledge - understanding of instrumentation, collectors, and distributed tracing concepts
Programming skills - can read, write, and debug code in one of Go/Java/Python/JavaScript
Customer-engineering mindset - enjoy helping other engineers solve technical problems
Who may not be a good fit
Candidates who are fresh out of college
Engineers who lack ownership
