What we are looking for

This is not your typical support role. If you're looking to just route customer issues to relevant engineers, you should stop reading now.

We're looking for someone who is:

Technical enough to solve complex distributed systems problems - you need to debug OpenTelemetry instrumentation issues across different tech stacks.
Great at building processes - you will create tooling, automation, and processes that help both our customers and internal teams operate more efficiently.
Someone who can scale technical operations - you will build the foundation for customer engineering function and grow into leadership as we scale.
Strong communication skills - you will frequently go on call with users for debugging issues

Who would be a good fit

2+ years experience in DevOps or engineering roles working with production systems at scale
Strong learning skills - you can quickly pick up new technologies and dive deep into complex technical problems
Hands-on experience with observability tools - SigNoz, Grafana, Prometheus, DataDog, or similar platforms
OpenTelemetry knowledge - understanding of instrumentation, collectors, and distributed tracing concepts
Programming skills - can read, write, and debug code in one of Go/Java/Python/JavaScript
Customer-engineering mindset - enjoy helping other engineers solve technical problems

Who may not be a good fit

Candidates who are fresh out of college
Engineers who lack ownership

About the company

SigNoz provides a lightweight open-source application performance monitoring tool for Kubernetes. It collects metrics, traces, and dashboards from microservices to show app health and performance. It runs on users' own infrastructure and offers premium features, enterprise support, and professional services. Its vendor-neutral, open-source approach avoids vendor lock-in and provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional APM, compatible with Prometheus and Grafana.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

SigNoz shipped v0.140.0 on September 2, 2026, showing aggressive release velocity.
The August 26, 2026 AI Coding Agents plugin widens usage beyond infrastructure engineers.
Jira alert channels and full-text log search broaden enterprise workflow fit and stickiness.

What critics are saying

CVE-2026-63094, fixed after July 15, 2026, enables SSO token theft and account takeover.
CVE-2026-57955 and CVE-2026-57956 exposed SQL injection and cross-tenant alert-rule leakage in June 2026.
Grafana, Datadog, and Elastic can replicate features faster, compressing SigNoz's differentiation over time.

What makes SigNoz unique

OpenTelemetry-native architecture and ClickHouse storage keep SigNoz vendor-neutral and cost-efficient.
Open-source distribution lowers adoption friction for Kubernetes teams avoiding Datadog lock-in.
Enterprise plans add self-hosting, compliance, and data-region controls without abandoning the open core.
