Zusammenfassung

Darwoft is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to drive a critical observability migration from New Relic to OpenTelemetry across a global, remote stack. You will instrument and reconfigure applications and infrastructure telemetry, ensure end-to-end coverage, and validate outputs against backends.

The role requires strong software engineering skills in at least one modern language and hands-on OTel experience, with collaboration across US/LATAM/global teams.

Qualifikationen

• Proven experience in software engineering with proficiency in 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, environment-based configurations, and reading/modifying 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.
• Run unit tests and validation suites to ensure correct telemetry generation and export.
• Perform telemetry gap analysis comparing New Relic data with OTel outputs.
• Assist in updating dashboards and documentation to reflect the OTel architecture.
• Investigate collection/export errors and collaborate with platform engineers on edge cases.
• Maintain tracking of progress, edge cases, and migration risks.
