Staff Mobile Engineer: Instrumentation SDK (iOS/Android) - Observability | Canada | Remote at Grafana Labs

This role is designed for a high-level individual contributor with deep expertise in mobile internals across iOS (Swift/Obj-C) and Android (Kotlin/Java). Unlike standard app development, this position focuses on building the **instrumentation SDKs** that other developers use. You’ll be a great fit if you have a background in systems-level mobile engineering, performance optimization, and experience with OpenTelemetry or similar observability frameworks. The compensation is highly competitive ($186k - $223k CAD) and includes RSUs, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of a powerhouse in the open-source space. As a "remote-first" company, they offer genuine flexibility, a generous 30-day annual leave policy, and a culture that encourages using modern AI coding tools to accelerate your workflow. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have experience building and maintaining public-facing SDKs or libraries used by third-party developers. * Are obsessed with performance metrics like startup time, memory footprint, and network overhead. * Comfortably navigate "poorly defined" problems and can architect modular, scalable solutions from scratch. * Want to contribute directly to the open-source community through OpenTelemetry and other observability standards.
