Staff Software Engineer - Observability Products
The Observability Products group is responsible for developing a new and expanding suite of observability-related products at Fastly. Weâre looking for an experienced, highly collaborative software engineer to join us as we bring a best-in-class observability experience to Fastly customers. As a part of this group, youâll work cross-functionally with product, design, and engineering to design, evolve, and build the systems and APIs that leverage and derive valuable insights from the real-time and historic data available within the Fastly platform.
This role is limited to non-US only.
What Youâll Do
- Design, develop, maintain, and test systems & tools within the Observability product-line
- Work directly with stakeholders and the Product team to find and evaluate opportunities for new Observability products and features
- Design systems that can evolve as we move between different phases of the product lifecycle; from experiments and proof of concepts to stable, performant, and scalable products
- Develop design and architecture documents as a way of collaborating across groups in the design of new systems and APIs
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and customers to craft systems that deliver best-in-class observability products to Fastly customers
- Make your support available to your team when and where they need it â a time zone compatible with the continental US, where your team will be, is a must for this role
- Participate in an on-call rotation
What Weâre Looking ForÂ
- Experience programming in Go or similar languages
- Experience designing, developing, and testing REST APIs
- Experience with projects related to observability and/or low-latency data collection and analysis
- Experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases
- Experience with event-driven systems and/or time-series data
- Experience writing code that is performant, maintainable, clear, and concise
- Experience with complex production systems that support the needs of a rapidly growing business
- Experience collaborating across groups and functions, including Product and design teams, to understand customer needs
- Ability to mentor, guide, and coach team members
- Ability to learn new skills and share what youâve learned with the broader team
We value a variety of voices, so this is not a laundry list. It would be an added bonus if you have experience in ANY of these:
- Go development
- Kubernetes or similar orchestration platform
- Relational and non-relational storage systems (e.g. MySQL, BigQuery, MongoDB, ClickHouse, ElasticSearch, Graphite)
- Message queues (e.g. Kafka, Kinesis, SQS, etc.)

We value diversity. Growing and maintaining our inclusive and diverse team matters to us. We are committed to being a company where our employees feel comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work and have the ability to be successful -- every day.
We are passionate. Fastly is chock full of passionate people and weâre not âone size fits allâ. Fastly employs authors, pilots, skiers, parents (of humans and animals), makeup geeks, coffee connoisseurs, and more. We love employees for who they are and what they are passionate about.
