Member of Technical Staff - Control

Chronosphere

39d•Remote

About The Position

Our product is an industrial-scale software-as-a-service observability platform. You will drive implementation and delivery of high-impact features within Control, the team building Chronosphere’s telemetry control, traffic shaping, and cost control system. This system gives customers fine-grained control over their observability data, complexity, and noise while preserving signal and performance. You will collaborate directly with Product, Design, and Engineering peers to build intuitive capabilities that empower customers to shape telemetry traffic, manage high-cardinality data, and enforce usage policies and budgets across their organization, operating at data volumes spanning hundreds of millions of telemetry events per second.

Requirements

Curiosity and motivation to learn deep, complex domains.
A proven track record building high-quality, scalable systems, including experience working on complex, performance-sensitive services in production.
Strong skills in a systems language such as Go, C++, Java, C#, or Rust. Knowing a specific language isn’t important; what matters is fluency built through real-world engineering work.
A habit of seeking feedback to improve your work and the ability to ask for help when you need it.
The ability to independently own projects from inception to delivery (plan, gather requirements, collaborate with stakeholders, and execute with operational maturity).
Excitement for working on a product engineering team and building features that create direct customer value, especially around cost control, optimizations, and reliability.
A flexible, collaborative working style. We’re a small team operating in a rapidly evolving space, and we’re looking for people who will help build a supportive, high-trust environment.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and test enhancements to Control APIs and services, including rule evaluation, policy enforcement, advanced optimizations, and real-time usage insights, using Go on Kubernetes / GCP.
Build scalable systems for telemetry shaping and cost control, such as ingest policies, aggregation, sampling policies, utility scores & recommendations, and usage-based controls.
Partner closely with Product and Design to deliver customer-facing experiences that make it easy to understand telemetry cost drivers and take safe, effective action.
Own the operational quality of what you ship: instrumentation, alerting, debugging, incident response, and performance tuning for production workloads.
Collaborate across product, design, platform, infrastructure, and developer experience teams to integrate Control decisions into the broader ingestion, query, and storage ecosystem.
