Description

  • Architect the observability platform, including telemetry schema, correlation model, transport, and sampling strategies across client devices, controllers, and gateways.
  • Build telemetry SDKs and the LogForwarder pipeline using OpenTelemetry.
  • Implement enrichment, redaction, batching, and tail-sampling for high-volume telemetry processing.
  • Design and support a high-cardinality ingestion and routing layer that can scale to 100M+ events per day.
  • Develop end-to-end distributed tracing across login and session establishment flows.
  • Enable on-demand packet capture workflows that are observable through logs and traces.
  • Define and validate integration standards for OTLP, Prometheus, and JSON logs.
  • Test and validate the observability system at customer-scale environments with large deployments and high concurrency.
  • Collaborate with product, R&D, and customers to shape requirements and deliver outcomes.
  • Mentor engineers, establish engineering patterns and review practices, and help grow the observability discipline at AppGate.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of engineering experience, including at least 4 years in observability, telemetry, or large-scale data infrastructure.
  • Deep OpenTelemetry expertise, including OTLP, the OTel Collector, semantic conventions, context propagation, and head/tail sampling.
  • Experience designing or significantly contributing to a distributed tracing system in production.
  • Hands-on experience with high-throughput systems ingesting 100M+ events per day.
  • Strong systems programming experience with production Go and/or Rust preferred.
  • Comfort working across the stack from agent code to backend services.
  • Knowledge of networking and security fundamentals, including TLS, DNS, TCP, and identity protocols.
  • Prior ZTNA, SASE, or SD-WAN experience is a strong plus.
  • Pragmatic, opinionated, and impact-driven mindset.
  • Experience with observability platforms such as Datadog, Splunk, Elastic, Honeycomb, New Relic, or Grafana Labs, or equivalent.
