Job description

About The Role

We are looking for a founding engineer to join our team. You will be working with a small team of highly skilled engineers to build out our open-source project, Odigos. We are primarily working with C and Go for building runtime instrumentations (via eBPF Programs) and are looking for someone knowledgeable with these technologies. We are looking for someone who loves open-source and is excited about making it easier for developers to debug their applications by generating distributed tracing.

About Us

Odigos leverages eBPF technology to create an open-source solution that can automatically generate distributed traces for any application without any engineering work. Developers are struggling with extracting and delivering high-quality monitoring data. Currently, building a pipeline is a manual process that takes months to implement, is an error-prone process that requires tons of code changes across multiple R&D teams, and demands collaboration.

What You’ll Do

• You’ll develop eBPF programs (instrumentations) for multiple programming languages. See an example of our open-source instrumentation: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-instrumentation
• Design and develop our Enterprise offering from the ground up.
• Engage with the community, and help build a community around our open-source project.

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer or in a similar role.
• Proficiency in C programming, with a solid understanding of Assembly and Linux.
• Experience with Kernel development.
• Familiarity with AWS and cloud computing platforms.
• Experience working with OpenTelemetry.
• Prior exposure to eBPF technology and its applications.

Join us at Odigos and play a pivotal role in redefining application monitoring and debugging through innovative, eBPF-driven solutions.
