The eBPF APM team is building a zero-instrumentation observability solution that automatically discovers services on every host, supports both plaintext and TLS-encrypted traffic, classifies Layer 7 protocols, decodes service-level traffic, and reports RED (requests, errors, duration) metrics. Leveraging deep expertise in eBPF, the team operates across a wide range of Linux kernel versions, distributions, and complex customer environments. In addition to low-level networking, the team solves challenges related to protocol versioning, TLS detection across diverse languages and runtimes, and resilient performance in production systems.
Were looking for a senior engineer with strong systems-level thinking and a good understanding of Linux. You should be comfortable working close to the kernel, ideally with experience in eBPF, or with a strong desire to dive into it. Proficiency in Go is essential, and familiarity with networking protocols, TLS internals, or distributed tracing is a strong advantage.
Youll join a high-impact team tackling ambitious technical challengeslike decoding traffic across multiple protocols, and ensuring high-fidelity metrics in complex, real-world environments. Youll be expected to lead design and implementation efforts, contribute to roadmap planning, and collaborate across teams to ensure our solution remains robust, scalable, and frictionless for our users.
This role is a great fit for engineers who thrive on low-level, performance-sensitive problems, and want to shape the future of observability through cutting-edge kernel technology.
we place value in our office culture - the relationships that it builds, the creativity it brings to the table, and the collaboration of being together. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
What Youll Do:
Design and build core components of our zero-instrumentation APM product using eBPF and Go
Develop systems to auto-discover services, classify L7 protocols, and extract RED metrics from both plaintext and TLS traffic
Solve complex challenges around protocol parsing, encryption handling, and performance at the kernel level
Ensure broad compatibility across Linux kernel versions, distributions, and diverse customer environments
Collaborate across teams to drive technical direction, improve reliability, and scale the system for production use
Requirements: You have significant experience in backend or systems-level development, with strong proficiency in Go or similar languages
Youre comfortable working close to the Linux kernel and have experience (or interest) in eBPF, networking, or observability tooling
You care deeply about performance and efficiency
Youve built or operated scalable systems in complex environments and understand how to design for reliability and compatibility
You thrive in a fast-paced, technically deep environment, and are excited to solve hard problems with a small, focused team
This position is open to all candidates.
