  • You will follow pre-established project plans and execute on a mission in collaboration with team members.
  • As opportunities are presented, you can begin building environments independently.
  • Learn, learn, learn and be able to apply what you learn.

Qualifications: 

  • Previous 1-2 years work experience in a cloud environment/platform.  AWS is preferable.
  • Linux administration at the command line.
  • Illustrated experience working remote or examples of working on a distributed team.  Strong asynchronous communication. 
  • You should be comfortable at a Linux command-line interface
  • Know how to use a version control system such as git
  • Understand the fundamentals of configuration management
  • Desire to improve collaboration and be able to communicate asynchronously
  • Passion for identifying and reducing toil through simplification and automation
  • Willingness to create and update the documentation to facilitate learning for yourself and the team
  • Kubernetes - Some exposure or experience
  • Basic Experience in a programming or scripting language

Nice to have's:

  • Nice-to-haves:
  • Datastores (ElasticSearch, Redis, MongoDB)
  • Coding (JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust)
  • Cloud (AWS, Azure, GKE, IBM Cloud)
  • Linux (EL, Ubuntu, CoreOS, Alpine)
  • CI/CD Tooling (Jenkins)
  • Configuration management tools (ex. Chef, Saltstack, Puppet, Ansible)

About LogDNA

LogDNA is on a mission to empower people who build solutions that shape the world. We’re doing this by delivering a platform that enables enterprises to get more value from their observability data in real time, regardless of source, destination, use case, or scale. We’re not the only ones working on this problem but we have a few things the others don’t.

  1. We’re cloud-native and know how to make the most of modern technology like Kubernetes.
  2. We have scaled a solution from zero to petabyte scale in a short amount of time, while supporting thousands of active users across multiple environments.
  3. We are hungry for change and are surrounded by enterprises telling us they’re hungry, too.
  4. We have a kick-ass group of people who are thinking about the problem analytically and are excited to change the observability world for the better.

LogDNA has helped some of the world’s most innovative companies transform how they manage their systems and applications. Still, we know that we can help them get more value from their observability data by providing more flexibility and control over how they use it. This will enable teams to spend less time switching between data silos so they can focus on shipping better, more resilient, and secure products.

We have momentum on our side. Last year we saw triple digit revenue growth and added 800 new customers to our roster. Recent accolades include being named to YC’s Top Companies, CRN’s 10 Hottest DevOps Startups, and EMA’s Top 3 Observability Platforms.

What it’s like to work at LogDNA 

At LogDNA, our culture is everything. We have an inclusive, collaborative, and fulfilling work environment so that our teammates can tackle some of technology’s biggest challenges. We hold the prestigious Great Place to Work badge and have won the Fortune Best Small and Medium Workplace award for the last two years in a row. Join us if you:

  • Want to solve hard problems.
  • Want to enable LogDNA’s customers, partners, and community to be highly productive and successful.
  • Thrive in collaborative, cross-functional environments. 
  • Enjoy jumping in where needed to help the whole company succeed. 
  • Take your role, but not yourself, seriously. At LogDNA, we know that pride, humility, and kindness are not mutually exclusive.

Benefits

  • Receive competitive compensation.
  • Receive competitive benefits, including:
    • 100% healthcare coverage for you and your family.
    • 100% dental coverage for you and your family.
    • 100% vision coverage for you and your family.
