Company Overview

The company develops an application monitoring and observability platform that helps software engineering teams identify and resolve errors, performance issues, and application slowdowns before they affect end users. Its solutions support organizations in improving software reliability, troubleshooting production systems, and optimizing software development workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Translate customer goals into implementation plans: Understand customer challenges and objectives, then develop implementation strategies, workshops, and best practices that demonstrate clear business value.
  • Implement solutions directly in customer codebases: With appropriate customer authorization, work alongside engineering teams to configure the platform and submit pull requests that establish complete integrations and ensure data flows correctly.
  • Develop custom instrumentation: Implement telemetry for critical customer journeys and build relevant dashboards and alerts to improve application monitoring.
  • Lead platform migrations: Help customers transition from existing observability solutions by configuring their new platform environments, implementing required integrations, and removing legacy tooling.
  • Deliver production-ready code: Work closely with customer engineering teams, operate within approved access and project scopes, thoroughly test changes, and deliver reliable pull requests suitable for production environments.
  • Collaborate directly with customer teams: Embed with engineering organizations, including through on-site engagements when beneficial, to resolve implementation challenges.
  • Develop repeatable deployment processes: Convert individual customer implementations into reusable playbooks, tools, and resources.
  • Help establish the forward deployed function: Contribute to engagement scoping, success measurement, and operational processes for customer-facing engineering projects.
  • Share customer insights: Communicate deployment findings and recurring customer needs to Product and Engineering teams to inform platform improvements.

Qualifications

  • At least 8 years of combined experience across software engineering, solutions engineering, implementation engineering, or related technical customer-facing roles.
  • Hands-on experience with programming languages and frameworks such as:
    • JavaScript
    • Python
    • Node.js
    • Java
    • PHP
    • .NET
    • Ruby
    • React
    • React Native
    • Native mobile development for iOS and/or Android
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to establish technical credibility among software engineers and engineering leaders.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a practical, hands-on approach to resolving technical challenges.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, results-driven environment.
  • Interest in developer tools, open-source technologies, and software development lifecycle practices.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with observability, application performance monitoring (APM), or error monitoring platforms.
  • Experience migrating customers from competing observability or monitoring vendors.
  • Experience establishing or contributing to a forward deployed engineering, customer engineering, or technical implementation function.

Work Environment

  • Hybrid position based in San Francisco, California.
  • Direct collaboration with enterprise customers and their engineering teams.
  • Opportunity to work across multiple industries and technical environments.
  • Combination of customer-facing solutions engineering, hands-on software development, and implementation work.
  • Opportunity to help establish and scale a forward deployed engineering function.
