Observe is a SaaS Observability tool that enables Engineering and DevOps teams to troubleshoot modern distributed applications 10x faster. Observe ingests machine-generated data and turns it into a graph of things that are understandable by humans. We enable engineers to spend more time coding features and less time investigating incidents. Because of Observe’s unique elastic architecture, our product is priced based on usage, making it cost 10x less than incumbents. Watch this video to learn more about our mission.
Observe was founded by top enterprise VC Sutter Hill Ventures and has a founding team from leading Enterprise SaaS companies Snowflake, Splunk, and Wavefront. We’re excited to grow our front-end engineering team. You will be spending your time working and learning from some of the best as we deliver a delightful UI that is both simple to use and powerful enough for experts to troubleshoot complex applications. View our demo.
As a Frontend Engineer, you will:
Develop an interactive, data-rich user interface using React, Typescript, D3, SASS/SCSS, etc.
Own the end-to-end delivery of substantial product features.
Work closely with product managers, UX designers, backend engineers to develop new features
Be a strong contributor to the product vision and team planning
Be a part of a rapidly growing startup with a strong VC backing
What we are looking for:
Experience building/maintaining complex enterprise applications
Day-to-day knowledge of modern web technologies like React, Javascript, Typescript, D3, etc.
A sophisticated understanding of how to use interfaces and design patterns to create simple and reusable components for a complex, technical UI
Confidently can make the right trade-offs between functionality and delivery speed so that we deliver both value and wow-factor to customers
Passion for front-end development, and the impacts it has on overall customer experience.
Growth mindset, willingness to using every opportunity to learn, discover and grow
Open to all levels!
What we like:
We aren’t interested in asking about computer science fundamentals you learned in college years ago, we care more about finding people who can apply their practical experience to get things done
Experience with commercial dashboarding and analytics products (e.g. Splunk, Datadog, Looker, Power BI) is preferable
Knowledge of the core building blocks in web browsers, like the DOM, CSS, Canvas, XHR, etc.
Startup or growth-stage experience is also preferable
About Us:
Observe's mission is to turn business data into information. Our SaaS Observability product ingests anything with a timestamp - logs, metrics, traces - and then curates and relates that data to provide unique insights into a customer’s data universe. If a customer has a problem on the application layer, engineering teams can seamlessly find the root cause of the issue whether that’s a new release pushed to production from Jenkins, or an underlying database or memory issue. We enable engineers to spend more time coding features and less time investigating incidents. We reduce outages and issues with customer experience. And we leverage an elastic cloud architecture so that customers only pay for what they use. To learn more about Observe, visit www.observeinc.com or join the conversation on Twitter @Observe_Inc.
Observe Inc. is a diversity-friendly zone. We seek to assemble a heterogeneous team where employees from all backgrounds can feel valued, appreciated, and celebrated, and where individual development does not come second to our collective goals.

What We Do
Observe was founded by Sutter Hill Ventures in November 2017. Our founding team came from leading Enterprise SaaS and software companies that work with vast quantities of data such as Snowflake, Splunk and Wavefront.
Our founding thesis was that the enterprises are data rich, but information poor. Data is siloed making it difficult to understand what’s going on inside applications and infrastructure. The result is often a poor customer experience and wasted engineering time tracking down incidents. Oh, and it costs a fortune.
Observe discerns why applications and infrastructure are running the way they are from the data they emit. We enable engineers to spend more time coding features and less time investigating incidents. We reduce outages and issues with customer experience. And we leverage an elastic cloud architecture so that you only pay for what you use.
