The Opportunity
Everything in Logfire starts with ingest. Today we ingest OpenTelemetry — OTLP traces, logs, and metrics — over gRPC and HTTP into our Rust ingest processor at high volume.
The next chapter is bigger: a managed ingest platform. We want customers to get their data into Logfire without standing up their own infrastructure — managed OpenTelemetry collectors, and direct ingest from cloud providers (AWS CloudWatch, Google Cloud Logging, Azure Monitor). And we want to ship synthetics monitoring — scheduled probes that test endpoints from the outside — as a native part of the observability product. Much of this is greenfield.
We're looking for a Principal Engineer to be the technical lead for this area: own the architecture, set the direction, and build it with a small team.
