The position requires a strong technical background, preferably with experience in observability, telemetry, or distributed systems. You'll work alongside product managers and engineers in an all-remote team environment, focusing on making users successful through education and community engagement. Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and open-source communities like Kubernetes or Prometheus is highly valued.

This role offers competitive compensation ranging from $157,549 to $189,059 USD, plus equity and additional benefits. You'll be joining a company that serves major enterprises like Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase, and eBay, while maintaining a strong commitment to open-source values and diversity in tech.
