Job summary

Darwoft is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead the observability migration from New Relic to OpenTelemetry across our global, cloud-based stack. You will instrument applications, update infrastructure manifests, and validate telemetry end-to-end while preserving monitoring coverage.

You will collaborate with platform engineers and product teams, implement OTel collector configurations, and help shepherd the transition in a high-scale fintech environment.

Qualifications

• Proven software engineering experience in at least one modern language (Java, Python, Go, or JS/TS).
• Hands-on experience with OpenTelemetry concepts, including distributed tracing, metrics, logs, and OTel Collector configurations.
• Deep experience with cloud observability and migrating off legacy platforms like New Relic.
• Strong understanding of YAML/JSON manifests, APIs, and environment-based configurations.
• Solid testing, debugging, and validating high-cardinality telemetry data.
• Familiarity with Git, PRs, and CI/CD pipelines.

• Update YAML configuration files, environment variables, and deployment manifests according to architecture standards.
• Execute unit tests and validation suites to verify telemetry is correctly generated, transformed, and exported to backends.
• Perform telemetry gap analysis, comparing New Relic data against OpenTelemetry outputs to identify missing traces, metrics, logs, or attributes.
• Assist in updating dashboards, monitoring documentation, and troubleshooting guides to reflect the OpenTelemetry architecture.
• Investigate telemetry collection and export errors, identifying root causes with core platform engineers on edge cases.
• Maintain clear tracking and reporting of implementation progress, edge cases, and migration risks.
