Zusammenfassung

Darwoft is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead an observability migration from New Relic to OpenTelemetry. You will re-instrument applications and update infrastructure manifests to support a modern, distributed telemetry architecture in a remote, contractor capacity.

• Experience migrating from legacy observability platforms (e.g., New Relic) to OpenTelemetry.
• Strong YAML/JSON manifest editing, HTTP/API understanding, and testing/debugging telemetry.

Aufgaben

• Migrate instrumentation and telemetry from New Relic to OpenTelemetry.
• Update YAMLs, env variables, and deployment manifests to the new architecture.
• Run unit tests and validation to ensure telemetry is generated and exported correctly.
• Perform telemetry gap analysis comparing New Relic data with OTel outputs.
• Update dashboards, docs, and runbooks to reflect the OTel architecture.
• Troubleshoot telemetry collection errors and collaborate with platform engineers.
