The Role

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll be a key contributor to the design, development, and scaling of our observability platform backend. You'll work on building high-performance APIs, streaming pipelines, and scalable data stores that ingest, process, and serve millions of telemetry events per second.

You'll collaborate closely with product managers, frontend engineers, and DevOps to deliver features that power mission-critical monitoring and diagnostics tools.


Key Responsibilities
  • Design and build scalable, reliable, and performant backend services for telemetry ingestion, processing, and querying.
  • Architect data pipelines for metrics, logs, and traces using modern technologies (e.g., Kafka, ClickHouse, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry).
  • Develop REST and gRPC APIs to support frontend dashboards and external integrations.
  • Contribute to the evolution of our microservices architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code.
  • Write clean, testable, and maintainable code with an eye for performance and scalability.
  • Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and mentoring junior engineers.
  • Continuously monitor and improve the reliability, observability, and performance of backend systems.

Tech Stack You Might Work With
  • Languages: Go (Golang), Python, Rust (nice to have), TypeScript (for tooling)
  • Data: ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, TimescaleDB, Elasticsearch
  • Infra: Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, AWS/GCP
  • Protocols: gRPC, REST, OpenTelemetry, OTLP, Prometheus Remote Write
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Helm

What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of backend development experience, preferably in SaaS or high-scale data systems.
  • Proficiency in Golang (or strong experience in other systems languages with a willingness to learn Go).
  • Solid experience designing APIs and working with event-driven architectures or streaming data.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, microservices, and cloud-native architectures.
  • Experience with observability tools, telemetry pipelines, or monitoring platforms is a big plus.
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, startup environment with a DevOps mindset and ownership-driven culture.
  • Based in Singapore or open to remote work within APAC time zones.

Nice to Have
  • Contributions to open source observability or DevOps projects.
  • Experience with high-throughput logging/metrics systems.
  • Familiarity with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, or similar frameworks.
