Odigos instruments applications via eBPF — a kernel-level technology that captures observability data without modifying code or adding runtime overhead. The tech stack (Go, Python, Node.js, Java, C, Kubernetes, eBPF, OpenTelemetry, AWS, Assembly, Linux) reflects deep systems engineering chops; the project list reveals active work on Kubernetes operators, eBPF program development, and observability automation pipelines. Hiring is engineering-focused and senior-weighted, concentrated in the US and Israel, with decelerating velocity — typical of a small, specialized team building infrastructure.
Odigos provides automatic instrumentation for distributed tracing across applications and services using eBPF. The platform generates OpenTelemetry output without requiring code changes, SDK updates, or language-specific agents — a significant advantage for legacy systems, third-party software, and latency-sensitive workloads where traditional instrumentation adds measurable overhead. The company operates as a small, Boston-based engineering team targeting organizations struggling with manual observability pipelines and fragmented monitoring data extraction across heterogeneous environments.
Odigos uses eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) to run outside application processes, capturing observability data via OpenTelemetry without code changes. The stack includes Go, Python, Node.js, Java, C, Kubernetes, and Linux.
Active projects include eBPF program development, Kubernetes operator development (in Go), observability pipeline automation, enterprise offering design and development, and community building.
