Engineer-in-Residence: Adoption
Empower developers. Drive adoption. Shape the future of observability.
At SigNoz, we’re building an open-source observability platform that developers love. With a rapidly growing global community and 21K+ stars on GitHub, we’re on a mission to bring powerful, affordable observability to every engineering team — starting with great OpenTelemetry support.
We’re looking for an Engineer-in-Residence: Adoption — a technically solid engineer who wants to work with customers to help them succeed in adopting observability the right way. You won’t be writing product code day to day — but you will be deep in Kubernetes clusters, instrumentation pipelines, and customer Slack channels.
This role is perfect for someone who enjoys solving real-world problems, talking to developers, and shaping adoption best practices.
💡 Why SigNoz?
👉 Opportunity to work in a global dev infra product
👉 Backed by YC and some of the prominent VCs in the Bay Area.
👉 We are completely remote. No offices.
💼 What You'll Own
- Guide engineering teams as they adopt SigNoz — from setup to scaling to rollout.
- Design and advise on best-practice observability architectures using SigNoz + OpenTelemetry.
- Collaborate 1:1 with customers to troubleshoot issues, debug instrumentation, and improve their setup.
- Capture learnings and turn them into guides, templates, and tooling for the broader community.
- Be the internal champion for users — influence product, docs, and roadmap with real-world insights.
🔍 What We’re Looking For
- 2–6 years of experience as a software, infra, SRE, or platform engineer.
- Hands-on familiarity with observability tools and telemetry pipelines
- Experience with Kubernetes, containers, cloud-native infra.
- You enjoy talking to other developers, sharing knowledge, and helping unblock problems.
- Bonus: If you have been an entrepreneur in the past or tried starting something of your own. We love technical founders and a good chunk of our team is ex-founders
🚀 Why This Role Matters
SigNoz is often the first observability tool many teams adopt. Your job is to make that experience delightful, educational, and successful — and to help us build the muscle that makes adoption at scale easy.
