What you will do
- You will join a cross-functional team that owns metrics collection and ingestion end to end, from the agent running on customer hosts and Kubernetes nodes to ingestion and processing in the Sysdig backend.
- Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you will solve performance, scalability and correctness problems across the whole pipeline.
- You will lead technical design for features across the agent and backend, and collaborate with product and design on specifications and timelines.
- You will be part of a team whose main goal is to work together to build the best product we can. We enjoy what we do and we always aim to get better.
- You will take part in an on-call rotation to handle urgent issues.
What you will bring with you
- Advanced coding skills, with 5+ years of professional experience in at least one of Rust, Go or C/C++, and willingness to learn and work across different technologies.
- Solid systems-programming background: Linux internals, processes, control groups, networking and file I/O. Experience with eBPF, kernel-level instrumentation or container runtimes (containerd, CRI-O, Docker) is a strong plus.
- Experience building performance-sensitive software that runs on customer infrastructure: resource-bounded, robust to partial failures, and safe to run privileged.
- Familiarity with distributed systems: horizontally scalable services, and/or event-driven architectures.
- Familiarity with observability tools and telemetry is highly desirable.
- Familiarity with Kubernetes is a strong plus. Experience with cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) is a plus.
What we look for
- Collaboration: The ability to excel in a cross-team environment, contributing to both technical and product discussions.
- Growth Mindset: A willingness to participate in professional development to stay current with industry trends.
- Communication: Fluency in English.
