Senior Software Engineer, Backend
Observo AI has pioneered an AI-powered telemetry data pipeline that can extract the most important security data from any source, parse and transform it into the right format, automatically detect and mask sensitive data, and route it to the analytics platform with the most value. By reducing noisy data volume by 80% or more, we can typically help reduce the total cost of security by as much as 50%. We shift analytics “left” into the telemetry stream to surface anomalies before all of the data is indexed in a SIEM or logging tool so DevOps and Security teams can focus on the most critical incidents before they spiral into costly problems. This helps teams detect and resolve critical incidents 40% faster. Join our team to make an impact with a fast-growing, innovative company committed to driving success for our customers.
We are seeking a smart, motivated, and experienced Senior Software Engineer with strong domain expertise in the observability space and a solid background in computer science fundamentals. Our platform operates on a multi-cloud, multi-tenant architecture using technologies like Go, Python, Postgres, Kafka, Langchains, Kubernetes, and Docker. If you are passionate about solving scaling challenges and take pride in writing elegant, maintainable code, this could be the role for you.
In this position, you'll balance research and development, and you'll have the autonomy to propose new features, architectures, and enhancements. If you enjoy tackling the complexities of building scalable, robust, and high-performing distributed systems that process large datasets in real-time, this role may be a great fit. As a remote-first company, we focus on efficiency and quality, not the number of hours worked. We foster extreme team collaboration across the globe, and at Observo, every problem is your problem—we work together to solve challenges, no matter where they originate.
If you're excited about building cutting-edge backend solutions and want to contribute to scaling cloud-native applications, we'd love to hear from you. Please submit your resume and a writing sample to careers@observo.ai.
