Job Description


Lightstep enables teams to detect and resolve regressions quickly, regardless of system scale or complexity. We integrate seamlessly into daily workflows, whether you are proactively optimizing performance or investigating a root cause so you can quickly get back to building features. We continue to grow our talented, low-ego, team! We believe that we should always align our actions toward a common purpose, that trust is paramount and must be cultivated, that the most valuable team members multiply rather than add, and that we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously (except when we’re writing way-too-long sentences about our values). We believe that assembling and retaining an inclusive and diverse team is the best way to grow a successful company.

We created Lightstep because we understand the massive architectural transformation underway in the software industry, and we saw an opportunity to accelerate it, all while improving the quality of the developer and end-user experience. While we learned a great deal from our experiences building Dapper (Google’s distributed tracing solution) and Monarch (Google’s high-availability metrics solution), Lightstep is in many ways a reaction to and a generational improvement beyond those approaches. Our story as individuals and as a company revolves around continuous learning, careful listening, and the belief that these fundamentally new software architectures require fundamentally new solutions.

As a Software Engineer in Product Engineering, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping new product offerings and scaling a sophisticated system, while working closely with product managers, product designers, frontend engineers, and our platform engineering teams. We're looking for someone excited to join a growing team that writes efficient, maintainable code for a standout product used every day by engineers at Lyft, Twilio, and more.

We care deeply about building long term careers and offer opportunities for Software Engineers to grow towards project leadership, engineering management, or other roles in our developing business. In addition, we highly encourage (and have frequently supported) our engineers who give talks at conferences, organize local events, and mentor developing engineers.


Qualifications


You’d be a great addition if…

  • You’ve developed and maintained backend systems as part of a team.
  • You'd enjoy working on a cross-functional team alongside product managers, product designers, and frontend software engineers on a highly collaborative team.
  • You enjoy digging deep into fundamentally challenging CS and engineering problems with others.
  • You’re motivated by high-impact projects, whether they’re open-ended questions or immediate practical needs, that drive a business's bottom line.
  • You value empathy as much, if not more, than intelligence in your teammates.
  • You're excited to work on a tool that other developers rely on for their 5 9's and firefighting!

Bonus points if…

  • You've developed in or look forward to learning Go.
  • You’ve worked on large-scale distributed systems, security, performance, and/or microservice-based architectures.
  • You've held a tech lead position in the past and enjoy coordinating with others to ensure complex engineering projects are done well.
  • You have experience outside of engineering: marketing, sales, design, management, etc.
  • You contribute to open source projects, enjoy giving talks, and/or do community-building work.
  • You have mentored more junior engineers, interns, or teammates in a lasting and impactful manner.

Work personas

Work personas are categories that are assigned to employees depending on the nature of their work. Employees will fall into one of three categories: Remote, Flexible or Required in Office.

Required in Office

A required in office work persona is defined as an employee who is contracted to work from or aligned to a ServiceNow-affiliated office. This persona is required to work from their assigned workplace location 100% of the work week based on the business needs of their role.

Flexible

A flexible work persona is defined as an employee who is contracted to work from or aligned to a ServiceNow-affiliated office and will work from their assigned workplace location roughly 3 days/week or less (generally around 40-60% of the work week). Flexible employees may choose to work the remaining working time from their workplace location or home. Flexible employees are required to work within their state, province, region, or country of employment.

Remote

A remote work persona is defined as an employee who performs their responsibilities exclusively outside of a ServiceNow workplace and is not contracted or aligned to a ServiceNow-affiliated office, including those whose place of work (pursuant to their terms and conditions of employment) is their home. Remote employees are required to work within their state, province, region, or country of employment.
