The Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer at SigNoz, you'll design observability solutions, create technical documentation, and directly implement integrations while collaborating with customer engineering teams.
Summary Generated by Built In

About the role
SigNoz is a global open source project with users in 30+ countries. We are building an open-source observability platform which helps developers monitor their applications and troubleshoot problems, quickly.

We have reached 23000+ Github stars, 6000+ members in the slack community and 200+ contributors.
Why us?

  • Opportunity to work in a global dev infra product

  • Backed by YC and some of the prominent VCs in the Bay Area

  • We are completely remote. No offices

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Technical enough to design observability solutions - you'll work directly with customer engineering teams to design their OpenTelemetry instrumentation strategy, customize dashboards, and optimize for their specific use cases.

  • Excellent at technical documentation - you'll create custom integration guides, troubleshooting docs, and best practices documentation that engineering teams actually want to follow.

  • Capable of hands-on implementation - you'll directly contribute to customer codebases, help debug instrumentation issues, and ensure successful deployments rather than just providing guidance.

  • Product-minded - you'll identify patterns in customer deployments and work with our product teams to build better defaults, templates, and tooling.

Who would be a good fit

  • 2-6 years experience in technical roles - DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, or Solutions Engineering backgrounds

  • DevOps/Platform engineering background - Containerization, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure)

  • Strong programming skills - comfortable contributing to customer codebases in multiple languages (Go, Python, Node.js, Java)

  • Excellent technical writing - can create clear, actionable documentation that engineers actually use

  • Systems thinking - can understand complex distributed architectures and design monitoring strategies that scale

Who may not be a good fit

  • People who prefer working in isolation rather than directly with customers

  • People who struggle with technical writing or documentation

  • Candidates who avoid hands-on coding or technical implementation
