Remote Position
Backend Engineer
🌍 Remote · United States
💼 Full-time
Build and operate the distributed systems that ingest, store and query telemetry at the scale our customers actually run.
What you’ll work on
- Build and operate distributed systems that ingest, store and query telemetry at scale: metrics, logs, traces, RUM and profiles.
- Make high-cardinality data fast and affordable through compression, downsampling, tiering and tenant isolation.
- Work across the stack we run in production: Go, Java, Kafka, Pinot, Kubernetes.
What we look for
- Strong, recent, hands-on experience building large-scale distributed systems.
- Depth in the fundamentals.
- Generalists who move across the system rather than staying in one lane.
- Engineers who operate what they build and treat reliability as part of the job.
- Comfort owning ambiguous problems end to end, from design through production.
Bonus
- Prior work in observability, APM or monitoring.
- Time-series or columnar storage internals: encodings, compression, cache behaviour.
How we work
- Small team, short feedback loops, real ownership from week one.
- You’ll talk to customers, engineers debugging real incidents, and that shapes what you build.
- We ship, then iterate; bias toward hands-on building over process.
- Modern tooling is encouraged, including AI-assisted development.
