Familiarity with OpenTelemetry (instrumentation, SDKs, collectors) or experience contributing to/maintaining OTel SDKs or similar telemetry libraries. Comfortable working in a fully remote, globally distributed team. Coachable, customerfocused, 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. Bonus Points For: Contributions to OpenTelemetry, crash reporting libraries, or other observability OSS. Experience with crossplatform frameworks (React Native, Flutter) or building native bindings/bridges. Experience with mobile security, privacy, or platform integration challenges. Prior work on crash aggregation, session replay, or sampling for mobile telemetry. In Canada, the compensation range for this role is $186,368 - $223,642 CAD.
