Job summary

Darwoft seeks a Senior Software Engineer to drive a critical observability migration from New Relic to OpenTelemetry. You will re-instrument applications, adjust manifests, and validate telemetry end-to-end in a remote, global team.

Leading the transition requires strong cloud observability knowledge, hands-on OTel experience, and collaboration with platform engineers. This contractor role offers USD-based pay and international scope.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Strong understanding of YAML/JSON manifests, APIs, and environment-based configurations.

Responsibilities

• Migrate instrumentation and telemetry configurations from legacy systems to OpenTelemetry across applications and services.
• Update YAML files, environment variables, and deployment manifests per architecture standards.
• Run unit tests and validation suites to ensure telemetry is correctly generated and exported.
• Perform telemetry gap analysis comparing New Relic data against OTel outputs to identify missing traces, metrics, or logs.
• Assist in updating dashboards and troubleshooting guides to reflect the OTel architecture.
• Investigate telemetry collection/export errors and collaborate with platform engineers on edge cases.
• Provide progress tracking and report migration risks clearly.
