- Collaborating and designing cross-language / cross-agent concepts, algorithms and approaches
- Working within Node.js language internals to provide deep, but invisible, integrations with other Node.js libraries and frameworks
- Participating in the solution maintenance, assisting support teams to tackle customer problems
What you will bring along
- Professional backend Node.js experience
- Experience with developing libraries (packages) for Node.js
- Experience working on an open-source project with a large community
- Real interest in GenAI
- Ability to work independently in a globally distributed team
- Excellent verbal and written English
- Your heart in the right place, a good sense of humour and a genuine interest in the people you work with

- Previous experience developing APM products
- Experience or knowledge in OpenTelemetry
- Ability to write specifications and lead discussions about them
- Experience and/or interest in the wider JavaScript ecosystem
- Some experience and/or interest in other languages (Python, Java, Go, C#, PHP)
