quite special.
Every week there are new faces, every month there are new departments coming
together and slowly (actually, pretty quickly) a living, breathing organism is
taking form with its own unique place in the world.
Lightrun is currently undergoing that very transformation. We’ve raised our
Series A round ($23M led by Insight Partners, bringing the total funding up to
$27M) and are looking to find the right crew for our ship, the right runners
for our team, the right cheetahs for our coalition… you get the drift.
We have been busy building a real-time observability platform: an ecosystem of
tools and services that allow developers to get a firm grip on their
production applications – from within the tools they already use. This is a
developer-first product, and we’re looking for people who are either former
developers themselves or have a good understanding of the developer world, how
developers think and what makes them the happiest while working.
We’re based in Tel-Aviv (already stretching one leg out to the US), very dog-
friendly, and absolutely love to see people bring out their best in
interviews. We bring the coffee, you bring the thunder! 🙂
We are looking for a Sales Engineer to join the hunt.
