Zusammenfassung

Darwoft is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for a remote, contractor-based role focused on migrating observability from New Relic to OpenTelemetry. You will re-instrument applications, adjust manifests, and validate telemetry pipelines across a global, high-scale fintech environment.

• Strong cloud observability experience and migration from legacy tools like New Relic.
• Good understanding of HTTP, APIs, and YAML/JSON manifests.
• Experience testing, debugging telemetry data, and validating telemetry pipelines.
• Familiarity with Git workflows, PRs, and CI/CD processes.

Aufgaben

• Migrate instrumentation and telemetry configurations from legacy tools to OpenTelemetry.
• Update deployment manifests, environment variables, and YAML files per architecture standards.
• Run unit tests and validation suites to ensure telemetry is generated and exported correctly.
• Perform telemetry gap analysis and identify missing traces, metrics, or logs.
• Update dashboards and runbooks to reflect the new OTel architecture.
