United States · San Francisco, CA, USA · Remote
Posted on Jun 5, 2025

SigNoz is a global open source project with users in 30+ countries. We are building an open-source application monitoring which helps developers monitor their applications and troubleshoot problems, quickly.

We have crossed 21000+ Github stars, 6000+ members in the slack community and 150+ contributors.

Why us?

  • Opportunity to work in a global dev infra product
  • Backed by YC and some of the prominent VCs in the Bay Area
  • We are completely remote. No offices
  • Founding team member opportunity - build support function from scratch

What we are looking for
This is not your typical support role. If you're looking for a classic tier-1 support person who escalates everything to engineering, you should stop reading now. We're looking for someone who is:

  • Technical enough to solve real problems - you need to debug OpenTelemetry instrumentation issues, troubleshoot ClickHouse queries, and help customers optimize their observability setup without constantly escalating to engineering.
  • Someone who can build support infrastructure from the ground up - you will create our knowledge base, establish processes, and set up tooling for a world-class support experience.
  • Passionate about engaging with opensource and developers - you'll be active in GitHub issues, Slack discussions, and technical forums.

Who would be a good fit

  • 2+ years experience in technical support or Devops role supporting technical audiences (SREs, Platform Engineers, DevOps teams)
  • Strong learning skills - you can quickly pick up new technologies and dive deep into complex technical problems
  • Hands-on experience with observability tools - Grafana, Prometheus, Jaeger, DataDog, or similar platforms
  • DevOps background - containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure as code, and cloud platforms
  • Programming ability - can read and debug code in at least one language (Go, Python, JavaScript preferred)
  • OpenTelemetry knowledge - understanding of instrumentation, collectors, and distributed tracing concepts
  • Customer-focused mindset - you're excited about helping technical users succeed and removing blockers to adoption
  • Leadership potential - you want to eventually build and lead a support team as we scale
  • Strong written communication - can explain complex technical concepts clearly to engineers

Who may not be a good fit

  • Candidates who are fresh out of college
  • People who need extensive training on observability concepts
  • Candidates who prefer structured, process-heavy support environments
  • People who want to avoid technical deep-dives or hands-on troubleshooting
  • Those looking for a traditional escalation-heavy support model
