Build Infrastructure Observability That Engineers Actually Want to Use

Yes. We’re a distributed team across multiple timezones. Remote isn’t a pandemic policy - it’s our architectural DNA. We communicate asynchronously, work autonomously, and respect timezones. No mandatory office hours, no ‘return to office’ risk.

We care about results, not time. No micromanagement, no presenteeism. We implement deep work days and respect personal boundaries. That said, we’re a 75-person team competing with giants - there will be challenging periods. We’re honest about the pace and committed to sustainability.

We focus on skills over titles. At Netdata, you’ll ship more, learn more, and own more than at larger companies. Growth comes through accelerated responsibility, community leadership (conference speaking, open source authority), and equity upside. We offer depth, impact, and ownership.

We’re venture-funded with enterprise customers worldwide, including Fortune 500 companies. We have 1.5 million daily downloads and growing adoption. Startups carry risk - if you need absolute stability, join a public company. If you want impact, join us.

We’re committed to building a diverse team. Our commitments include diverse interview panels, skills-based hiring, and zero tolerance for discrimination. Every hire changes our demographics, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Absolutely. We’ve hired several contributors to work full-time. If you’ve contributed to Netdata or other observability projects, mention it in your application. We value community engagement and public work. Your GitHub profile speaks louder than any resume.

Languages: C (performance-critical), Go (collectors), Rust (OTel plugin), TypeScript (UI). Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, distributed systems, edge computing. ML/AI: k-means clustering, large language models, Model Context Protocol. Database: Custom time-series database with Gorilla compression. Kernel: eBPF, system calls, Linux capabilities, Windows ETW.

Transparent timeline with clear expectations. Initial screening call, technical assessment (take-home or live coding), team interviews, and final conversation with leadership. We provide feedback even for rejections. We value your time and aim for a 2-3 week process. Skills-based evaluation, not years of experience.

Yes, with some practical constraints. We hire globally but need reasonable timezone overlap for collaboration. We handle equipment shipping, co-working reimbursement, and remote work stipends. Check specific role requirements for timezone preferences.

We’re engineering-led (no sales pressure), remote-first (not hybrid), open source (76K+ stars), and small (75 people = more ownership). We solve hard technical problems (distributed systems, ML at edge, real-time processing) with sustainable pace. We explicitly reject toxic talent and build culture around respect, transparency, and results.
