About the role

The team you will be joining is building a new, core capability to automatically make sense of the vast sea of telemetry customers send us, and present it back to them in insightful ways. We aim to help customers understand their system as a whole at a glance, and quickly locate any relevant information that could expedite their understanding of an alert or outage. Without having to learn a query language or manually build a dashboard, customers gain the observability they need using this team’s solution. As a back-end engineer, you will work with our teams to architect, deliver, and operate solutions at enormous scale while meeting system requirements for performance, reliability, and cost.

You will

• Design, implement, and operate high volume services in Go on top of Kubernetes/GCP/AWS
• Build operational tooling for the code you write, and work with cloud infrastructure engineers to manage your code in production
• Contribute to the direction of the product, and help evolve the overall platform architecture to meet product and scale needs
• Refine the way we build and release the platform by contributing to build systems, test frameworks, deployment tools and monitoring

What you will achieve

In the first month, you will build a deep understanding of Chronosphere’s business and platform and begin contributing to the product. You will have time to learn about the space, our customer’s needs, and the underlying technology.

Within 90 days, you will have shipped several enhancements to the platform and contributed to designs shaping the overall direction of the architecture. Over time you will implement new services and may become the go-to person for a part of the platform, or range across the system and contribute to multiple areas.

You have

• The ability to independently own projects from inception to delivery (i.e. plan and gather requirements, collaborate with Product)
• Pre-existing experience on how to build high scale systems and experience with building sophisticated application services
• Deep knowledge of what’s required to build and operate highly available systems at scale. Our customers rely on Chronosphere to manage the reliability of their businesses, and their uptime is only as good as our own
• Excellent skills in a system level language such as Go, C++, Java, C#, or Rust. Knowing a specific language isn’t important; what matters is that you’ve become fluent in one by spending a lot of time on the types of projects where these languages are used
• Strong interest in how things get built, and not just what features we ship. We are always trying to make engineering at Chronosphere better, and we need people that have a fundamental interest in constantly improving the way we build, test, deploy, and operate our platform
• A flexible, collaborative working style. We’re a small team working in a rapidly evolving space, and we’re looking for people that will help build a positive, supportive environment
