Staff Mobile Engineer: Instrumentation SDK (iOS/Android) - Observability | Germany | Remote

AI Summary ✨

Requirements:

  • You’re a motivated self-starter with a bias toward action and the ability to run with poorly defined scopes. You can operate autonomously while being highly collaborative.
  • Strong mobile engineering experience (one or both): iOS (Swift/Obj-C) and/or Android (Kotlin/Java).
  • Demonstrated experience building or maintaining mobile SDKs, platform libraries, or other developer-facing platform code used by external developers.
  • Experience working with performance-sensitive code (startup time, memory, network efficiency) and making pragmatic tradeoffs.
  • Familiarity with OpenTelemetry (instrumentation, SDKs, collectors) or experience contributing to/maintaining OTel SDKs or similar telemetry libraries.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication
  • Comfortable working in a fully remote, globally distributed team.
  • Coachable, customer-focused, and passionate about developer experience, you can do more than code: you write docs, mentor others, and shape roadmaps.
  • Pragmatic and comfortable navigating ambiguity: you prioritize progress over perfection and iterate quickly based on feedback.

Nice to Haves:

  • Contributions to OpenTelemetry, crash reporting libraries, or other observability OSS.
  • Experience with cross-platform frameworks (React Native, Flutter) or building native bindings/bridges.
  • Experience with mobile security, privacy, or platform integration challenges.
  • Prior work on crash aggregation, session replay, or sampling for mobile telemetry.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Build and evolve mobile instrumentation SDKs for iOS (Swift / Obj-C) and Android (Kotlin / Java), prioritizing performance, stability, and a great developer experience.
  • Design and ship SDK features such as session tracking, crash reporting, sampling strategies, automatic context propagation, and OpenTelemetry integrations.
  • Own projects end-to-end.
  • Break large, ambiguous problems into incremental deliverables: design modular solutions, ship MVPs, gather feedback, iterate quickly.
  • Ensure quality: automated tests, CI, documentation, and smooth, backwards-compatible upgrade paths.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with backend, frontend, product, and solutions engineering to ensure cohesive end-to-end observability workflows.
  • Engage with the open-source community: review PRs, discuss design proposals, and help guide external contributors.
  • Mentor teammates, participate in technical design discussions and help shape the mobile observability roadmap.

Perks and Benefits:

  • We invest heavily in developer productivity.
  • Modern AI coding assistants available as part of your daily workflow.
  • Company-funded usage budget for AI tools.
  • Access to frontier models (e.g., GPT-Codex 5/3, Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro).
  • Compensation range is €109,709 - €131,651 in Germany.
  • Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) included in all roles.
