Job Level

About the role

  • Design, build, and maintain a modular Swift SDK used by developers across Apple platforms
  • Work on crash reporting, hang detection, performance monitoring, and telemetry instrumentation
  • Build reliable mechanisms for offline storage, batching, retries, and data delivery under mobile runtime constraints
  • Contribute to SDK architecture, API ergonomics, and backward compatibility
  • Design and evolve APIs with a focus on stability, clarity, and long-term compatibility
  • Debug complex issues across devices, OS versions, and app environments, including threading, memory, and lifecycle challenges
  • Develop and maintain capture services for networking, user interactions, and system events, leveraging frameworks such as MetricKit
  • Optimize startup performance, binary size footprint, memory usage, and thread safety
  • Coordinate with cross-platform SDK teams (React Native, Flutter, Unity) to ensure native SDK changes do not introduce downstream breaking issues
  • Collaborate on OpenTelemetry alignment and upstream contributions
  • Partner with Product and Customer Success to incorporate developer feedback

Requirements

  • Familiarity with OpenTelemetry or observability concepts (preferred)
  • Experience supporting multiple Apple platforms from a shared codebase (preferred)
  • Familiarity with system-level frameworks such as MetricKit or MXDiagnostic (preferred)
  • Experience working in a multi-SDK ecosystem where platform changes affect cross-platform consumers (preferred)
