Requirements
• Contributions to OpenTelemetry, crash reporting libraries, or other observability OSS. • Experience with cross-platform frameworks (React Native, Flutter) or building native bindings/bridges. • Experience with mobile security, privacy, or platform integration challenges. • Prior work on crash aggregation, session replay, or sampling for mobile telemetry.
Responsibilities
• Build and evolve mobile instrumentation SDKs for iOS (Swift / Obj-C) and Android (Kotlin / Java), prioritizing performance, stability, and a great developer experience. • Design and ship SDK features such as session tracking, crash reporting, sampling strategies, automatic context propagation, and OpenTelemetry integrations. • Own projects end-to-end. • Break large, ambiguous problems into incremental deliverables: design modular solutions, ship MVPs, gather feedback, iterate quickly. • Ensure quality: automated tests, CI, documentation, and smooth, backwards-compatible upgrade paths. • Collaborate cross-functionally with backend, frontend, product, and solutions engineering to ensure cohesive end-to-end observability workflows. • Engage with the open-source community: review PRs, discuss design proposals, and help guide external contributors. • Mentor teammates, participate in technical design discussions and help shape the mobile observability roadmap. • We invest heavily in developer productivity. You can use modern AI coding assistants as part of your daily workflow (your choice of tools, within security guidelines), backed by a company-funded usage budget so you can iterate quickly without unnecessary friction.We encourage pragmatic AI-assisted development: faster prototyping, test generation, refactors, documentation, and incident follow-ups—always paired with strong code review and quality standards.You’ll also have access to frontier models (e.g., GPT-Codex 5/3, Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro). • What Makes You a Great Fit: • You’re a motivated self-starter with a bias toward action and the ability to run with poorly defined scopes. You can operate autonomously while being highly collaborative. • Strong mobile engineering experience (one or both): iOS (Swift/Obj-C) and/or Android (Kotlin/Java). • Demonstrated experience building or maintaining mobile SDKs, platform libraries, or other developer-facing platform code used by external developers. • Experience working with performance-sensitive code (startup time, memory, network efficiency) and making pragmatic tradeoffs. • Familiarity with OpenTelemetry (instrumentation, SDKs, collectors) or experience contributing to/maintaining OTel SDKs or similar telemetry libraries. • Excellent written and verbal communication • Comfortable working in a fully remote, globally distributed team. • Coachable, customer-focused, and passionate about developer experience, you can do more than code: you write docs, mentor others, and shape roadmaps. • Pragmatic and comfortable navigating ambiguity: you prioritize progress over perfection and iterate quickly based on feedback.
