(Remote-first and async-first culture, DevOps SaaS, 40h/week, time zones: UTC+1 or UTC+2)

Join Checkly as a Senior Customer Solutions Engineer and empower developers to own and ensure application performance and reliability – from pull request to post-mortem!

Checkly helps engineers build reliable products by unifying testing, monitoring and observability. OpenTelemetry, Playwright, and Monitoring as Code are our foundation for unifying performance and reliability.

Our platform is already trusted by teams at Vercel, LinkedIn, 1Password, CrowdStrike and Render, but we’re just getting started. In 2024, we raised $20M in Series B funding from Balderton, CRV, and Accel to take things to the next level.

That’s where you come in.

If you thrive in an entrepreneurial environment and love closing deals that genuinely help developers, this is the place for you.

We care about building a team where people of all backgrounds are encouraged to do their best work. To achieve this we built a flexible and async-first startup environment with inclusive benefits and full transparency about how we pay.
