    Your role in the team

    • As a Senior Systems Software Engineer, you will be a key individual contributor to the design and implementation of the Error-Reporting/Backtrace platform.
    • You will focus on building high-performance features that allow our customers to analyze multi-dimensional data and debug production issues at scale.

    • You are expected to be a master of your craft, writing efficient code while maintaining a DevOps mindset to ensure the platform remains scalable and reliable.
    • You will work within a global team, taking ownership of complex components and translating technical requirements into robust software solutions.
    • Implement and maintain core subsystems including work scheduling, networking (HTTP), storage, and indexing.
    • You will write performance-critical code in Rust and C/C++.
    • Implement and refine OpenTelemetry integrations (metrics, tracing, and profiling) and build out Grafana dashboards to monitor system health and performance.
    • Take ownership of technical tasks from design to deployment, ensuring they meet the high standards of our performance-sensitive environment.
    • Provide guidance to junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and documentation.
    • Participate in the on-call rotation and contribute to the automation of the software development lifecycle (CI/CD) to improve team velocity.
    • Assist in the development and integration of AI-driven features and agents that enhance internal workflows and customer debugging experiences.
