Senior Sales Engineer

Description

The best developers don't wait for a customer to tell them something's broken. They catch it first, in the pull request, in staging, or in the checkout flow at 3am, before a single user notices. That instinct is Checkly's whole reason to exist. We give developers and their agents the tools to own reliability the way they own their code: monitoring defined as code, powered by OpenTelemetry and Playwright, versioned and reviewed like everything else they ship. From pull request to post-mortem, in one place.

Open roles:

Product Manager (DevTools & AI Reliability) - remote UTC-3 to UTC+3 Senior Sales Engineer - remote Europe (UTC+1 to UTC+2) Sales Engineer - remote US, Eastern time zone
