Bitdrift Jobs
When the tech giants arrived, they promised boundless connectivity, endless data, and a digital utopia.
Reality check: we’re drowning in a sea of useless information.
Enter bitdrift. We’re here to rewrite the script, giving engineers the power to control the chaos and turn down the noise. We’re flipping the switch on traditional monitoring tools, offering a real-time solution that’s light on the wallet and heavy on results.
We’re looking for unusual people who see the world differently and don’t accept the status quo.
We are a small team of kind and talented people. Join us as we navigate the murky waters of observability with renewed hope.
Most current industry offerings in this space are poorly designed and overly complicated, and we’re aiming to radically redefine how people consume and interact with their observability data. Your role will not only include building novel libraries and SDKs, but also defining the tools, methods, and systems that make development efficient and high quality. Customers of our SDKs include mobile apps across various platforms such as Android, iOS, Electron, React Native, and potentially embedded boards. You will lead the design, development, and optimization of our mobile libraries, ensuring an intuitive and ergonomic user experience. You will collaborate closely with designers, back-end developers, and product managers to create seamless and high-performance products.
What You’re Responsible For
Collaborate with cross-functional engineers to design, develop, and productionize mobile SDKs and systems end to end using Kotlin and Rust.
Craft delightful and ergonomic APIs for customers using our cross-platforms SDKs.
Work with product and UX teams to build the core engines that power our observability product offerings.
Take shared ownership of our SDK release and CI pipeline, enhancing its tools and systems.
Dive deep into the cross-platform implementations in Rust that power our frameworks.
Drive innovation by exploring new technologies and tools to enhance user experiences and advance the product tech stack.
Contribute to troubleshooting, technical documentation, and knowledge sharing within the team.
Communicate directly with customers to announce new features and troubleshoot issues.
Who You Are
5+ years of mobile software engineering experience.
Deep technical knowledge of Kotlin and JVM development.
Experience in low level Android development (networking, UI rendering, disk I/O, concurrency, JNI) and/or Android infrastructure development (observability systems, tooling, performance optimizations).
Proficiency in monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with a keen eye for detail.
Ability to self direct, break down tasks, and prioritize.
Experience with low level languages (Rust, C++) is a plus.
Experience designing and building SDKs in any language is a plus.
Experience working on Open Source projects is a plus.
Interest or experience working with distributed backend systems (also written in Rust) is a plus.
Looking to work with a high-caliber team in a fast-paced environment.
What to Expect in the First 30 Days
