Observe is building an Observability Data Lake that re-invents how customers manage all of the operational telemetry (logs, metrics, traces, etc.) emitted by their modern distributed applications. Traditional logging, monitoring, and APM tools are too complex, failing to curb skyrocketing costs and mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) of incidents. Observe simplifies the landscape, delivering a single observability platform for all telemetry data, leveraging a cloud-native data warehouse for industry-leading scale and economics.
As an Associate Product Manager for Observability, you’ll assist in delivering product experiences that enable our customers to monitor, troubleshoot, and analyze their software applications. You will work closely with senior product managers, engineering, and other cross-functional teams to help define and execute on the roadmap for our core observability capabilities, including alerting, dashboarding, search, and analytics. This is an exciting opportunity to learn the craft of product management while working on a cutting-edge observability solution.
Note: This is an in-person role based in our San Mateo, CA office.
