<h1>About SigNoz</h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">SigNoz is an open-source observability platform that helps modern engineering teams monitor, debug, and optimize their applications with deep visibility into metrics, traces, and logs — all in one place. We’re built natively on OpenTelemetry and offer both self-hosted and cloud options, so teams can run observability the way they want, without vendor lock-in.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We are growing fast and building core developer infra products.<br>And we are not fooling around:</p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">27,000+ GitHub stars</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">800+ customers</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">7,000+ members in our Slack community</p></li></ul><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h2>Role: Sr Product Manager - IC</h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the product for a developer-infrastructure platform used by engineers every single day. This is a hands-on IC role: you'll go deep on the product surface, talk to power users constantly, and ship things that make complex observability workflows feel obvious.
