## About the Role

OpenObserve is looking for a DevOps Engineer with strong hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and observability. You’ll work closely with our engineering team to build, automate, scale, and maintain reliable infrastructure and deployment systems. We’re looking for someone who enjoys automation, understands production environments deeply, and is comfortable troubleshooting complex infrastructure and application issues.

## What You’ll Do

- Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines for reliable and efficient software deployments.
- Deploy, manage, and scale workloads on Kubernetes.
- Design and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS.
- Automate infrastructure provisioning using Terraform and/or OpenTofu.
- Follow Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices for repeatable and scalable environments.
- Build and maintain monitoring, alerting, dashboards, and observability workflows.
- Work with tools such as Grafana and other monitoring/observability platforms.
- Monitor infrastructure and application performance, availability, and reliability.
- Troubleshoot production issues across infrastructure, networking, Kubernetes, and application environments.
- Improve system reliability, scalability, security, and deployment efficiency.
- Collaborate closely with developers to improve developer experience and deployment workflows.
- Identify repetitive operational tasks and automate them wherever possible.

## What We’re Looking For

- 3+ years of hands-on DevOps / Cloud / Infrastructure experience.
- Strong experience with Kubernetes and containerized environments.
- Good working knowledge of AWS and its core infrastructure services.
- Hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience with Terraform and/or OpenTofu.
- Strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code concepts and practices.
- Experience with observability, monitoring, logging, and alerting.
- Hands-on experience with Grafana.
- Good understanding of Linux, networking, DNS, load balancing, and cloud infrastructure fundamentals.
- Ability to diagnose and resolve production and infrastructure issues independently.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving engineering environment.

## Nice to Have

- Experience operating large-scale or distributed systems.
- Experience with GitOps and Kubernetes deployment tools.
- Experience with Helm.
- Familiarity with Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, logs, metrics, and traces.
- Scripting/automation experience using Python, Bash, or similar tools.
- Experience supporting highly available production environments.
- Previous experience working with observability, developer infrastructure, DevOps, or cloud-native products.

We’re looking for someone who likes to automate rather than manually repeat, enjoys solving infrastructure problems, and cares deeply about reliability and operational excellence.

## What we offer

- Opportunity to work on a cutting-edge open-source project with a growing community.
- Collaborative and dynamic work environment with a remote-friendly culture.
- Professional development opportunities, including conference sponsorships and training.

## About OpenObserve Inc.

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: OpenObserve is an open-source, cloud-native observability platform that unifies logs, metrics, traces, and real user monitoring into a single, high-performance solution.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A – $10M raised in April 2026, led by Dell Technologies Capital and Nexus Venture Partners)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Prabhat Sharma (Founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Observability, DevOps, Platform Engineering, IT Infrastructure Monitoring
- Target customers: B2B – DevOps and platform engineering teams at startups, SMBs, and Fortune 100 enterprises. Over 6,000 organizations use the platform.
- Mission or purpose statement: To provide high-performance, unified observability for the AI era, with open standards and no vendor lock-in.

## Products & Services
- **OpenObserve Platform**: A unified observability platform (SaaS / self-hosted) that combines logs, metrics, traces, real user monitoring (RUM), dashboards, alerts, and session replay. Supports SQL and PromQL, deploys as a single binary or Helm chart, and stores data on cost-efficient object storage (S3, MinIO, GCS, Azure Blob).
- **AI SRE Agent**: Built-in AI assistant that converts natural language to SQL/PromQL, summarizes log patterns, correlates alerts into incidents, identifies root causes, and generates dashboards from plain English descriptions.
- **OpenObserve Cloud**: Fully managed, zero-infrastructure option with transparent, ingestion-based pricing (no per-host, per-user, or per-metric charges).
- **Self-Hosted Enterprise**: Free up to 50 GB/day ingestion, includes SSO, RBAC, audit trail, and federated search.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed (private company).
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$13.6M** across two rounds (Seed $3.6M in March 2022, Series A $10M in April 2026). Annual revenue reported as **$250,000** (early-stage).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Dell Technologies Capital, Nexus Venture Partners, and 12 seed investors.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - 31 employees (+25% YoY headcount growth).
  - 19,000+ GitHub stars on the open-source repository.
  - Over 6,000 organizations using the platform, including Fortune 100 companies ingesting 2+ PB/day.
  - Engineering team distributed across North America and Asia (5+ time zones).
  - 140x lower storage costs than Elasticsearch, 8–10x lower total cost vs. Datadog.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Unified Single Binary**: Replaces fragmented stacks (e.g., Grafana LGTM, ELK) with one platform – no need to stitch together multiple components.
- **Cost Efficiency**: Columnar storage with Apache Parquet achieves ~40x compression; uses cheaper object storage; flat per-GB ingestion pricing with unlimited users.
- **Open Source & Open Standards**: AGPL-3.0 licensed, OpenTelemetry native, supports SQL and PromQL – no proprietary query language or vendor lock-in.
- **Performance**: Built in Rust; query engine (DataFusion) returns results on 1 PB of data in ~2 seconds; stateless architecture for horizontal scaling.
- **Built-in AI**: AI SRE Agent and natural language querying reduce alert fatigue and speed up root cause analysis – no need for separate incident management tools.

## Strategic Focus
- **Market Expansion**: Growing enterprise adoption, especially among Fortune 100 companies. Recent $10M Series A will fuel product development and go-to-market.
- **AI & Automation**: Deepening AI capabilities (MCP support, automated root cause analysis) to differentiate from legacy observability tools.
- **Open Source Community**: Continuing to build a strong community around the open-source project (19k+ stars, active contributions) to drive adoption and feedback.
- **Cloud-Native & Kubernetes**: Optimizing for Kubernetes deployments, Helm charts, and OpenTelemetry Collector integration.

## Why Work Here
- **Remote-First Culture**: Work from anywhere; distributed team across North America and Asia (5+ time zones). Offices in San Francisco and India.
- **Innovation Focus**: Encourages creative thinking, time for exploration, and experimentation. Built with modern stack: Rust, Go, TypeScript, React, Vue.js, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Azure, gRPC, ArgoCD, Terraform.
- **Growth Opportunities**: Dedicated budgets for conferences, courses, and certifications; continuous learning environment.
- **Inclusive & Diverse**: Team communicates in 8+ languages; inclusive culture with global perspectives.
- **Equity & Benefits**: Meaningful equity participation, competitive health benefits, and wellness programs.
- **Engineering Principles**: Performance-first, scalability by design, test-driven development, CI/CD, security at every layer.
- **Open Source Contribution**: Work on a fully open-source product; contribute back to the community.
