Responsibilities
Build and evolve mobile instrumentation SDKs for iOS (Swift / Obj-C) and Android (Kotlin / Java), prioritizing performance, stability, and a great developer experience
Design and ship SDK features such as session tracking, crash reporting, sampling strategies, automatic context propagation, and OpenTelemetry integrations
Own projects end-to-end
Break large, ambiguous problems into incremental deliverables: design modular solutions, ship MVPs, gather feedback, iterate quickly
Ensure quality: automated tests, CI, documentation, and smooth, backwards-compatible upgrade paths
Collaborate cross-functionally with backend, frontend, product, and solutions engineering to ensure cohesive end-to-end observability workflows
Engage with the open-source community: review PRs, discuss design proposals, and help guide external contributors
Mentor teammates, participate in technical design discussions and help shape the mobile observability roadmap

Strong mobile engineering experience (one or both): iOS (Swift/Obj-C) and/or Android (Kotlin/Java)
Demonstrated experience building or maintaining mobile SDKs, platform libraries, or other developer-facing platform code used by external developers
Experience working with performance-sensitive code (startup time, memory, network efficiency) and making pragmatic tradeoffs
Familiarity with OpenTelemetry (instrumentation, SDKs, collectors) or experience contributing to/maintaining OTel SDKs or similar telemetry libraries
Excellent written and verbal communication
Comfortable working in a fully remote, globally distributed team
Coachable, customer-focused, and passionate about developer experience, you can do more than code: you write docs, mentor others, and shape roadmaps
Pragmatic and comfortable navigating ambiguity: you prioritize progress over perfection and iterate quickly based on feedback
Preferred
Contributions to OpenTelemetry, crash reporting libraries, or other observability OSS
Experience with cross-platform frameworks (React Native, Flutter) or building native bindings/bridges
