Come be a part of our journey!Join us in revolutionizing Observability for Developers! We’re on a mission to redefine how engineers monitor, debug, and scale their production applications using ClickStack. An open-source platform that transforms telemetry data into actionable insights. Imagine a world where logs, metrics, traces, and session replays come together seamlessly to pinpoint root causes faster than ever before. If you've ever been jolted awake at 2 AM, frustrated with Grafana, Datadog, or Elastic for not delivering the answers you need, you’ll resonate with the problem we’re solving. And now, you can help us solve it. We’re hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to help us build a petabyte-scale, high-performance observability platform with a laser focus on crafting an amazing developer experience. What You'll Do: Shape the product: Own and build key backend services and infrastructure that power our observability platform, ensuring reliable, high-throughput data pipelines and APIs that developers depend on every day. Engage with the community: Collaborate with open-source contributors and customers, solve their challenges, and incorporate their feedback into our backend architecture and API design. Tackle technical challenges: Design and implement scalable backend systems capable of ingesting, processing, and querying petabytes of observability data. You'll build the foundational services that empower engineers to crack production issues like never before. Who You Are: A backend engineer who excels at building reliable, performant services in TypeScript and Node.js. A creative problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment. Driven to ship features that make a tangible impact for customers. Eager to learn and push boundaries, embracing new technologies and approaches. Love what you do and are passionate about software. Move fast and learn from mistakes. Love the freedom to create with minimal interruptions. What You Bring: 5+ years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on backend development, with a preference for building developer tools or infrastructure. Strong TypeScript and Node.js skills (experience with Express, Fastify, or similar frameworks). Solid understanding of API design, distributed systems, and data modeling. Experience with Go is a plus — you'll occasionally contribute to Go-based services. Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes). A passion for open source and the developer community. Experience creating developer tooling and an eye for how to design for developers. Bonus Points: Experience with ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, or other analytical/OLTP databases. Strong opinions on observability tools and a vision for making them 10x better. Familiarity with OpenTelemetry, logging pipelines, or metrics infrastructure. Experience with SDKs or client library design. Exposure to message queues, streaming systems (Kafka, NATS), or event-driven architectures.
