Job summary

Darwoft is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead a critical observability migration, transitioning telemetry from New Relic to an OpenTelemetry-based architecture. You will re-instrument applications, adjust manifests, and verify telemetry end-to-end across a high-scale fintech environment.

The role requires strong coding skills in Java, Python, Go, or JavaScript/TypeScript, plus hands-on OTel knowledge.

Qualifications

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

Responsibilities

• Migrate instrumentation, tracing, and telemetry from legacy systems to OpenTelemetry.
• Update YAML configurations, environment variables, and deployment manifests per architecture standards.
• Run unit tests and validation suites to verify telemetry generation, transformation, and export to backends.
• Perform telemetry gap analysis by comparing New Relic data with OTel outputs to find missing traces, metrics, logs, or attributes.
• Assist in updating dashboards, docs, and runbooks for the OTel architecture.
• Investigate telemetry collection and export errors and collaborate with platform engineers on edge cases.
• Maintain progress tracking and report migration risks clearly.
