A LITTLE ABOUT US

is the AI software reliability platform trusted by engineering teams at Netflix, Etsy, and 2,000+ companies who can't afford downtime.

The stakes are real, the talent is insane, and somehow it's a genuinely lovely place to work. We all pull our weight, go the extra mile, and put in the bit of magic most companies don't have time for, all while having fun and never taking ourselves too seriously.

You'll work closest with our product engineers, day in and day out. You're part of a small, three-person platform team, which means your fingerprints are on everything. There's no hiding in a big team here, and no waiting for someone else to pick things up.
