Zusammenfassung

Darwoft is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead an observability migration from New Relic to OpenTelemetry. This is a fully remote, contractor role with global scope, coordinating with US/LATAM teams.

You will re-instrument applications, update manifests, run validations, and ensure monitoring coverage remains intact during the migration, with attention to high-scale fintech infrastructure.

Qualifikationen

• Proven experience in software engineering with at least one modern language (Java, Python, Go, or JavaScript/TypeScript).
• Hands-on experience with OpenTelemetry (OTel) concepts including distributed tracing, metrics, logs, and OTel Collector configurations.
• Deep experience with cloud observability and migrating from legacy platforms like New Relic.
• Solid understanding of HTTP, APIs, and reading/modifying complex YAML/JSON manifests.
• Strong background in software testing, debugging logs, and validating high-cardinality telemetry data.
• Familiarity with modern software delivery workflows (Git, PRs, CI/CD).

Aufgaben

• Migrate instrumentation, tracing, and telemetry configurations from New Relic to OpenTelemetry.
• Update YAML configuration files, environment variables, and deployment manifests.
• Execute unit tests and validation suites to verify telemetry generation and export to backends.
• Perform telemetry gap analysis comparing New Relic data against OTel outputs.
• Assist in updating dashboards, monitoring documentation, and runbooks for the OTel architecture.
• Investigate telemetry collection/export errors and collaborate with platform engineers on edge cases.
• Maintain tracking of implementation progress, edge cases, and migration risks.
