Role
Who you are
- Background of technical leadership driving engineering excellence
- Experience in building, scaling or managing production web services
- Experience with production deployments in the cloud (especially AWS)
- Deep working experience with AWS, SQL & OLAP databases and Node.js
- First-hand experience with SRE practices: SLOs/SLAs, modern incident management, etc
- Know how to communicate with coworkers and customers in English
- Ability to be autonomous and self-motivated in a remote work environment, while you also enjoy getting to know your colleagues and helping others

What the job involves
- Join Checkly, a Gartner Cool Vendor, as the Staff Engineer Platform and be at the forefront of the Monitoring as Code (MaC) movement
- We’re looking for an experienced Engineer to lead our site reliability practices with a strong background in distributed systems architecture and high scale cloud backends to help us do what we love most: building the best monitoring platform for developers
- Improve reliability and evolve our infrastructure
- You will get a chance to be hands-on in our stack, driving challenging platform initiatives and scaling up our infrastructure together with our backend engineers
- You will be influential in the development of our cloud architecture roadmap and code-based infrastructure management (”Infrastructure as code”)
- Help us continue to build a strong SRE culture in a supportive team environment
- You will play a key role in defining how we “do reliability”. Together with your peers in the product engineering teams, you will be responsible for:
- Observability of our backend platform: define bottlenecks, track them and fix them
- Optimize our performance and reduce error rates: from wild queries, to slow queues to Heisenbugs
- Work directly with our VP of Engineering to have reliability baked into everything we do
- Identify valuable infrastructure initiatives, communicate them clearly and bring them from idea to production
Our take
DevOps introduced more automation to the software development process and lifecycle, allowing new applications to be on the market at a quicker pace. But with progress comes changes and new requirements for developing, testing, and deploying applications, thus requiring transformation for modern monitoring systems.
Checkly is an active monitoring platform designed for developers. The API is programmable, flexible, and works well with JavaScript. Checkly allows cross-functional DevOps and engineering teams to run deep API monitoring and Javascript-powered flexible frontend tests across 20+ global data center locations.
The transaction monitoring tool makes it easy to regularly test interactions with front-end websites without having to actually write any code. Pricing for its services starts at $7 per month for individual developers, with plans for small teams starting at $29 per month. Looking ahead, funding will be used to expand Checkly’s engineering team and build out its platform.
