Join Checkly as a Senior Backend 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 tech stack is Vue.js, Node.js, TypeScript, Postgres, ClickHouse and AWS. We ship to prod all day, every day. We practice Agile (not scrum) and take pride in good documentation and good looking products.

We’re a remote-first startup that keeps things simple—low on meetings, high on productivity, and always shipping. If you love building cool things, working async, actually listening to and working with customers, and keeping it lean, you’ll fit right in!

Thousands of developers—teams at 1Password, CrowdStrike, Render, LinkedIn and Vercel included—trust Checkly to keep their apps running smoothly. In 2024, we raised $20M in Series B funding from Balderton, CRV, and Accel to take things to the next level.

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, remote-first and async-first startup environment with inclusive benefits and full transparency about how we pay.
