Job Overview
Job description provided by G-Research.
G-Research is hiring a Software Engineer to join its Observability Engineering Team in London, focused on instrumentation for its telemetry platforms.
The team manages access to the firm's telemetry platforms so engineering teams can effectively produce and consume telemetry for their services.
The role focuses on the producer side, covering instrumentation patterns, OpenTelemetry SDKs and collector configurations that help teams emit consistent, high-quality telemetry.
The engineer will extend and maintain OpenTelemetry SDKs, libraries and Collectors, and build instrumentation paths across Kubernetes and non-Kubernetes workloads.
They will embed observability standards across platform and application teams and work to improve service-level visibility across C#, Python and Kubernetes-based services.
The role also includes scaling and improving telemetry backend systems and pipelines and improving incident response with better telemetry coverage.
Candidates need programming skills in C# and/or Python, hands-on experience with OpenTelemetry SDKs, instrumentation and Collectors, and proficiency in Kubernetes and cloud-native observability.
DevOps tooling experience with tools such as Terraform, ArgoCD, Helm or Jenkins is required, along with a good understanding of metrics, logs and traces.
