About LogRocket
 
Founded in 2016, LogRocket's goal is to make every experience on the web as perfect as possible. We're solving a huge challenge for product managers and developers - understanding the user experience. LogRocket is the first system that gives these teams complete visibility into their customer's experience using their web apps - through pixel-perfect replays of user sessions and clear insight into logs, errors, and network activity.  We've already attracted an elite roster of over 2,800 customers including ClassPass, Capital One, Cisco, and Rippling, just to name a few. Our focus is on building software with care and craftsmanship and our engineering blog posts offer a taste of that.
 
Backed by top investors such as Matrix Partners, Battery Ventures, and Delta-V Capital, we've raised $55M in funding and we're eager to bring talented people onboard to support our growth. We're on a mission to improve society's experience with software and that's where you come in.

Responsibilities

  • Own the architecture and roadmap for a core product area end-to-end — from data model to UI — partnering with design and product to ship experiences customers love
  • Lead the design of systems that surface insight from data at massive scale. Think real-time search across billions of log entries or automatic detection of common user paths across millions of events
  • Drive adoption of AI/ML in the product, from bug-detection pipelines to full-stack AI-powered recommendations
  • Set technical direction for scaling our infrastructure cost-effectively while maintaining reliability under heavy load
  • Raise the bar for the team: mentor engineers, review architecture decisions, and model strong full-stack craftsmanship

Qualifications


    If you don’t meet all of these, we still encourage you to apply. We believe code is code, and learning new tools is part of joining a new team.
