Observe is a highly scalable observability platform that enables businesses to investigate complex, modern distributed applications 10x faster. Observe ingests, structures, and correlates machine-generated data such as logs, metrics, and traces, making it easier for engineers to navigate and debug issues. This empowers engineers to focus on coding new features and less time investigating incidents.
About the Enterprise Platform Team:
The Enterprise Platform team is responsible for building enterprise features and robust service infrastructure towards a highly reliable application and control plane for Observe. We work with tools like Golang, Kubernetes, GraphQL, and Postgres, as well as our temporal-relational query language, OPAL.
What you'll do:
Develop enterprise features such as RBAC, IAC (terraform), SAML.
Build robust application and control plane components that drives the rest of the Observe product: This includes our API servers, authentication, application metadata and other core components.
Design shared infrastructure components that optimize for scalability, reliability, performance and long-term maintainability.
Write robust unit tests that allow us to continuously deploy to our kubernetes service infrastructure
You'll be successful in this role if you have:
Strong computer science and distributed system fundamentals
BSCS degree or equivalent experience
1-3+ years of backend development experience
Proficiency in Go, Python or equivalent programming languages

What We Do
Observe was founded by Sutter Hill Ventures in November 2017. Our founding team came from leading Enterprise SaaS and software companies that work with vast quantities of data such as Snowflake, Splunk and Wavefront.
Our founding thesis was that the enterprises are data rich, but information poor. Data is siloed making it difficult to understand what’s going on inside applications and infrastructure. The result is often a poor customer experience and wasted engineering time tracking down incidents. Oh, and it costs a fortune.
Observe discerns why applications and infrastructure are running the way they are from the data they emit. We enable engineers to spend more time coding features and less time investigating incidents. We reduce outages and issues with customer experience. And we leverage an elastic cloud architecture so that you only pay for what you use.
