Role description
OpenTelemetry - Development
(Cloud Telemetry Platform Engineer)
About The Role
This is a Cloud Telemetry Control‑Plane + Observability Platform role.
It is NOT Linux OS and NOT basic telemetry agent support.
This role focuses on Kubernetes‑native telemetry platforms running at cloud + edge scale.
MUST‑HAVE (Customer Mandated)
• Strong experience with Go (Golang)
• Hands‑on programming against the Kubernetes API
• Experience with at least ONE of the following:
• Kubernetes Controllers
• Kubernetes Operators
• Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) platform development
Key Cloud Telemetry Highlights
Core Focus Areas
• Kubernetes control plane & CRDs
• Telemetry routing & management APIs
• High‑throughput cloud telemetry (logs, metrics, traces)
• Edge / air‑gapped environments
• Google Distributed Cloud (GDC)
Strong Technical Expectations
• 5+ years Kubernetes ecosystem & telemetry infrastructure
• OpenTelemetry + Prometheus
• Envoy, service mesh, telemetry proxies
• Store‑and‑forward architectures
• Go (mandatory) | C++ / Java / Python (secondary)
Nature of Work
• Building Kubernetes‑native management layers
• Programming controllers / operators for telemetry routing
• Translating telemetry intent → runtime configs
• Designing scalable control planes (not agents only)
• OSS contribution is a strong expectation
Explicitly NOT Required / Avoid
• Linux kernel / driver engineers
• Support‑only observability profiles
• DevOps / SRE profiles without controller/operator experience
Note:-
"This role requires Go development, Kubernetes API usage, and controller/operator experience. Linux OS or driver development is NOT required. Experience with GDC is highly preferred."
