- You love cloud-native tools and platforms. You’re passionate about building effective GTM strategies and making products resonate in new markets

- You enjoy speaking with customers, analysts, PMs, and developers. You are scrappy, high empathy, low ego, and enjoy being a part of a team

- Knowledgeable and opinionated about network infrastructure technology and protocols, especially for cloud, data center, and digital business architectures

- Ability to collaborate and organize - someone who will quickly execute on an experiment, call a meeting, write a plan, understand the tech or process required to get results
- An engineer in spirit (or practice)

Our take
The rise in internet use has resulted in an often unmanageable amount of network traffic across websites, data centers, and most recently cloud services. The resulting mass of information from this is problematic to interpret and thus difficult to use for troubleshooting and engagement insights.
Kentik provides an integrated network monitoring dashboard for enterprises that helps provide visual data illustrations and insights based on traffic. This allows administrators to identify bottlenecks in their networks, whilst providing opportunities to provide cyber protection and monitor customer experiences.
The Kentik dashboard’s approach to network management is unique due to its focus on the visualization of information. This allows insights regarding network limitations and bottlenecks to be understandable and manageable to enterprises regardless of whether staff has knowledge in networking data.
