Principal Software Engineer – Sensor, Telemetry & Observability (Hybrid)

Own the architecture and technical strategy for a unified telemetry and observability platform, from endpoint collection SDK to cloud ingestion, decode, and analytics.

Design for the realities of the endpoint: crash-survivable in-memory telemetry, resource-constrained collection, priority stream separation, and performance-sensitive paths.

Drive structured logging and data governance — type safety, PII auditability, and privacy compliance for telemetry collected at scale.

Evolve the platform without breaking existing consumers, and serve as the connective technical authority for telemetry across multiple teams.

Own designs from concept through shipped code, on-endpoint and in-cloud, with cross-platform deliverables.

Lead, mentor, and raise the technical bar across a distributed engineering team.

Deep, hands-on experience architecting at-scale telemetry, observability, or crash-reporting platforms end-to-end — agent SDK through cloud ingestion and analytics — with systems you designed running in production.

Strong low-level and systems engineering in C/C++, with a track record of performance-sensitive, resource-constrained design.

with structured logging, telemetry data governance, and privacy/PII handling at scale.

A record of shipping and evolving platforms without breaking consumers, and of influencing technical direction across teams.

Strong debugging fundamentals: crashes, memory issues, contention, and system performance.

Ability to lead, mentor, and collaborate in a distributed team.

Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes.

Scalable, lightweight, high-performance systems and OS internals across more than one platform.

OS-level performance and diagnostic instrumentation (e.g., ETW, PMU/hardware telemetry).

Data lake and analytics stacks (KQL, SQL, Snowflake) and Go-based cloud services.

Endpoint security domain knowledge; comfort in an Agile, frequently-shipping team.
