About the Position

Senior Product Engineer (DevTools & AI reliability, remote)

We are looking for a Senior Product Engineer to join our team at Checkly. This role is fully remote and focuses on DevTools & AI reliability. You will work with a team that values transparency, agility, and innovation.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship with AI: Actively use coding agents for full stack development, from exploring solutions and generating scaffolding to refactoring, test generation, and debugging.
• Talk to our users: Communicate directly with developers, DevOps, and SRE teams to understand their workflows, pain points, and feedback. Use this information to validate ideas, course-correct early, and iterate on what you build.
• Find the right problems to solve: Focus on real developer pain points such as flaky tests, unclear failures, and noisy alerts. Develop pragmatic solutions that ship quickly and improve long-term reliability.
• Own your work end to end: From shaping the initial idea through implementation and rollout, to monitoring its behavior in production. Participate in on-call duties and support customers when issues arise.

Requirements

• Experience with AI: You have shipped features with AI, not just experimented with them. You have taken work from zero to shipped with a comparable stack, made implementation decisions that held up, and put things in front of real users.
• Production software experience: You know the realities of operating software that people depend on: edge cases, incidents, regressions, and the need for observability and follow-up. You are not surprised when things break and you help fix them.
• Product conversation skills: You can look at a customer problem and reason about whether the thing you are about to build actually solves it.
• Remote work capability: You work well without an office around you. You are autonomous and self-motivated in a remote setup, and you still enjoy getting to know your colleagues and helping other people get unstuck.
• FULLY remote: Role within the UTC-3 to UTC+3 time zones. You need to be able to travel to (other) European countries without having to wait for a visa appointment.

We Offer

• Transparent salary: 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.
• Stock options: Become part of a fast-growing, international, and remote team where your work matters.
• 27 days of paid vacation: Plus your local public holidays.
• Paid sick leave & up to 14 weeks of paid parental leave.
• Co-working budget or home office setup.
• Annual company kickoffs.

Compensation

• €88k - €105k for someone in a similar cost of market as UK, Germany, etc, + stock options.
• €79k - €97k for someone in a similar cost of market as Spain, Poland, Ukraine, etc, + stock options.

About the Company

Checkly is a remote-first startup that keeps things simple-low on meetings, high on productivity, and always shipping. We give developers and their agents the tools to own reliability the way they own their code: end-to-end tests and synthetic monitoring defined as code, powered by OpenTelemetry and Playwright, versioned and reviewed like everything else they ship. From pull request to post-mortem, in one place.

Thousands of them, from modern AI companies like Mistral and resolve.ai to large engineering orgs like LinkedIn, Citi, and 1Password, build with us. In 2024 we raised $20M in Series B funding from Balderton, CRV, and Accel.

If you love building cool things, working async, actually listening to and working with customers, and keeping it lean, you’ll fit right in!
