Senior Infrastructure Engineer
Overview
Checkly is looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to join an early stage company, influence the product roadmap and help us do what we love most: building the #1 monitoring platform for developers.
Job Description
Checkly is the leading synthetic monitoring platform helping Engineers at Linkedin, Citibank, Render, Vercel and over 1000 other companies to 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 Claude Code, Vue.js, TypeScript, Golang, Postgres and ClickHouse. We host a hybrid cloud on AWS and bare metal infrastructure. 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! In 2024, we raised $20M in Series B funding from Balderton, CRV, and Accel to take things to the next level.
Responsibilities
- - Work with a team of highly skilled Staff and Senior Engineers
- - Evolve and optimize our hybrid AWS and bare metal infrastructure to securely run sandboxed code and AI Agents with industry leading cost efficiency

- - Basic or ideally advanced Kubernetes knowledge

Benefits
- - Transparent salary because your salary shouldn''t be dictated by how good a negotiator you are.
- - Remote-first, flexible work hours, async-first (low meeting, high productivity) and transparent culture
- - Become part of a fast-growing, international, and remote team where your work matters—your impact won''t get lost in layers of bureaucracy.

- - 27 days of paid vacation + your local public holidays
- - Paid sick leave & up to 14 weeks of paid parental leave
- - $1,500 learning, visiting and wellbeing budget
