Technical Lead — Go Telemetry Platform (Remote)

3Pillar Global, Inc.; Northern (KY); Hybrid; USD 140,000 - 200,000; Full time

Job summary

3Pillar Global, Inc. is seeking a Technical Lead for the Telemetry Platform (Go) to guide a Go-based edge telemetry system in a large-scale data center client.

You will own the ingestion path, back-pressure, high-cardinality data, and edge failure isolation while collaborating with DCIM stakeholders to shape platform capabilities. Remote-first team culture, global collaboration, and emphasis on security, performance, and reliability accompany strong mentoring and knowledge-sharing across

Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including production Go at scale.
• Hands-on experience with IoT and OT telemetry protocols: SNMP, gNMI or other streaming telemetry, NETCONF, syslog, and MQTT.
• Demonstrated experience running time-series data at scale in InfluxDB or an equivalent platform, including retention, downsampling, and cardinality management.
• Experience with edge and constrained-runtime deployment, where memory, CPU, and network are limited and failures are expected.
• Kubernetes at production scale, plus observability practice: metrics, tracing, structured logging, and alerting you designed yourself.
• Experience designing high-volume ingest pipelines, including back-pressure, buffering, retry semantics, and graceful degradation.
• Experience leading Agile software development methodologies.
• Demonstrated experience following and adapting high-level architecture to project and client needs, and the ability to verify and validate architecture implementations.
• High level of English proficiency required to interact with a globally-based development team and client stakeholders.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States.

Responsibilities

• Independently guide the technical direction and implementation by the whole team within defined architecture, in all stages from conceptualization to deployment.
• Own the production hardening of the edge telemetry platform coming out of proof of concept: back-pressure handling, high-cardinality management, resiliency, and failure isolation.
• Design and evolve the device polling and ingest layer across IoT and OT telemetry protocols, and the write path into time-series storage at scale.
• Evaluate trade-offs between correctness, robustness, performance, and customer impact to ensure the development of the right solution, with client success at the forefront.
• Serve as the primary technical counterpart to the client's DCIM and infrastructure stakeholders, translating operational requirements into platform capability.
• Partner with the Data Services technical lead on the contract at the boundary between ingest and downstream exposure, so the two pods evolve independently without breaking each other.
• Create and lead the team's technical documentation and repository management practices, including tasks such as creating branches, pull requests, merges, and release process.
• Contribute to code reviews, documentation, and addressing complex bug fixes with a focus on security, performance, and reliability.
• Participate in and lead knowledge transfer from the outgoing delivery team, then support the ramp up of the engineers behind you.
• Be an active leader in the Engineering Practice community, mentoring Senior Engineers and others through Communities of Practice (CoPs) or on project teams, supporting the growth of technical capabilities.
