## Job description

### ABOUT SIGNOZ

SigNoz is an open-source observability platform that helps modern engineering teams monitor, debug, and optimize their applications with deep visibility into metrics, traces, and logs — all in one place. We’re built natively on OpenTelemetry and offer both self-hosted and cloud options, so teams can run observability the way they want, without vendor lock-in.

We are growing fast and building core developer infra products.
And we are not fooling around:

- 27,000+ GitHub stars

- 800+ customers

- 7,000+ members in our Slack community

### ROLE: STAFF BACKEND ENGINEER – ALERTS

We’re looking for a Staff Backend Engineer – Alerts who works with the Pulse team. The person will be responsible for building features around our alerting module and ensuring reliability when there are 1000s of alerts running.

### WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON

You will be working with the high-caliber team to build the future of alerts at SigNoz. Here are the list of features that exist today https://signoz.io/docs/alerts/

- Build alert features with robustness and scalability in mind

- Build integration with JIRA, incident.io, etc

- Design and implement APIs, services, and core backend components in Go

- Reliability of alerts

### WHAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL

- 5–10 years of experience in golang

- Strong understanding of concurrency, locks, channels, and performance in Go

- Experience building distributed systems while writing clean and scalable code

- Loves open source – ideally with prior contributions to OSS projects (any size)

- Ability to drive initiatives end-to-end: from problem discovery → design → implementation → rollout

- Comfortable working in a high-ownership, fast-moving, remote-first environment

- Strong communication skills – can write clear tech docs and explain trade-offs

### NICE-TO-HAVES

- Past experience in core teams of series B+ startups.

- Experience in observability (monitoring / logging / tracing)

- Familiarity with OpenTelemetry, ClickHouse, Kubernetes, etc.

### WHY YOU’LL LOVE WORKING AT SIGNOZ

- Work on a globally used open-source project that engineers actually love

- Huge scope and ownership – your work directly shapes how teams adopt SigNoz

- Collaborate with high-caliber team who just can't stop shipping

- Remote-first, async-friendly culture

- Opportunity to help define the future of open-source observability

**Live in Signoz’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
