Job description

The role

We are looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer to join our Observability Platform team in Amsterdam or remotely. Building a reliable and profitable cloud platform is impossible without world-class observability. It spans every layer of the stack — from developer tooling and CI/CD pipelines to Kubernetes, managed services, databases, networking, and customer workloads. Our mission is to provide a unified ecosystem for logs, metrics, traces, alerting, and troubleshooting that enables engineers to understand and operate systems at scale. You will build and scale the core services behind this platform, working on high-volume telemetry ingestion, distributed storage, query engines, alerting pipelines, and new ways to help engineers make sense of operational data, including AI-assisted troubleshooting.

We expect you to have:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong knowledge of Golang or willingness to quickly switch to it
• Experience building distributed backend systems
• Solid understanding of software reliability, scalability, and performance
• Ability to troubleshoot complex production issues
• Teamwork-oriented approach and strong communication skills

It would be an added bonus if you had:

• Experience building or contributing to observability platforms, telemetry systems, or related open-source projects such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Jaeger, OpenTelemetry, VictoriaMetrics, Mimir, Tempo, or similar technologies
• Experience using ClickHouse in production

Benefits & Perks:

• Competitive compensation
• Career growth and learning opportunities
• Flexibility and ownership
• Collaborative and innovative culture
• Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects
• International environment and talented teams
