Software Engineer

We are seeking a Software Engineer to join the Observo AI team in India, our cutting-edge AI-driven data pipeline optimization platform. This role will be responsible for developing and maintaining high-performance systems that process massive volumes of telemetry data while reducing costs and improving insights for enterprise customers.

We're looking for someone who errs on the side of simplicity, who has a passion for craftsmanship in code, and who believes deeply in the value of testing. You should be the kind of engineer who writes tests even when nobody is watching-because you understand that quality matters. We value engineers who enjoy performance tuning, extracting the last ounce of efficiency from systems, and who are excited about working with databases, distributed systems, and open source technologies.

This role is part of the Observo AI engineering organization and offers the opportunity to work on innovative technology that directly impacts enterprise data management at scale. This is a hybrid role with 3 days in our Bengaluru office.

What Will You Do?

• Develop and maintain scalable data processing pipelines that handle large volumes of telemetry data (logs, metrics, traces)
• Build and enhance ML-driven data routing, filtering, and transformation components to optimize customer data volumes while preserving critical insights
• Implement real-time analytics and monitoring features using modern software engineering practices
• Work with cloud-native microservices and APIs that integrate with major observability platforms (Splunk, Elastic, Datadog, New Relic)
• Contribute to monitoring, alerting, and observability solutions for distributed systems
• Write comprehensive tests for all code changes, ensuring reliability and maintainability
• Participate in code reviews, pair programming, and collaborative development practices
• Collaborate with senior engineers, Product, and DevOps teams to deliver customer-focused solutions
• Conduct performance and scale testing to optimize system efficiency
• Learn and apply emerging technologies in AI/ML, data engineering, and observability
• Contribute to technical documentation and knowledge sharing within the team

What Skills and Knowledge Should You Bring?

• 3+ years of software engineering experience with focus on backend development, distributed systems, or data processing
• Demonstrated commitment to code quality and testing practices throughout your career
• Experience that shows you care about the craft of software engineering
• Strong proficiency in Go, Java, Python, or similar programming languages with understanding of software engineering best practices
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Familiarity with data processing frameworks such as Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, or streaming technologies
• Basic understanding of database technologies including SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Redis) systems
• Understanding of data formats and protocols commonly used in enterprise systems (JSON, REST APIs, message queues)
• Experience with version control systems (Git) and CI/CD practices
• Strong belief in testing-you write tests even when you have the freedom to skip them
• Bias toward simplicity and maintainability in software design
• Interest in performance and scale testing; you enjoy tuning systems for maximum efficiency
• Passion for craftsmanship in code quality and attention to detail
• Commitment to continuous learning and improvement
• Good communication skills with ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment
• Experience with or interest in pair programming and extreme programming practices
• Fluency in English with good written and verbal communication skills
• Eagerness to learn from senior engineers and contribute to team success
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field from a recognized institution
• Exposure to functional programming languages (Haskell, Scala, Elixir, OCaml, F#)
• Exposure to systems programming languages (Rust, C++, C)
• Contributor to open source projects, particularly in databases, distributed systems, or observability
• Experience with machine learning concepts and frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn)
• Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK stack
• Personal projects demonstrating passion for databases, distributed systems, or performance optimization
