Senior Sales Engineer (remote, Europe)

(Remote in UTC+1 and UTC+2 time zones, Series B DevTools SaaS)

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

Checkly is the active reliability layer for developers and agents. We unify testing, synthetic monitoring, and observability into a single AI-native workflow, so engineering teams (and the agents shipping alongside them) can catch issues before customers do.

Our platform is trusted by teams at Vercel, CrowdStrike, 1Password, Airbus, Mistral, ServiceNow, and Fastly. 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. As a part of our Sales team, you’ll play a key role in expanding our reach, building relationships with engineering teams, and showing them why Checkly is the best solution out there.

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.
