Bitdrift Jobs
We’re hiring our first marketer at bitdrift to radically change how developers think about observability. You’ll report into the CEO (who else?) and be responsible for growing awareness of bitdrift, crafting highly technical messaging that resonates with developers, owning feature and product launches, and a bunch of other stuff. We’re looking for a generalist who gets excited by an early role with a very wide scope. We’ll get to telling you about what some of the responsibilities are and who we might be looking for in this role. But first, a story about what we’re doing here and why product marketing is make or break for us over the next year.
bitdrift exists to solve a common, frustrating, and costly problem: observability. Developers need visibility in the things that their app runs on – whether it be servers (coming soon), or mobile devices. And though there are many, many, many observability solutions out there – including highly successful public companies – most developers will tell you that observability is still the bane of their existence. Despite (or perhaps because of) it being the single biggest line item on their infrastructure bill, developers still generally don’t have the observability data they need to really understand what’s going on. And because they pay up the nose for everything they store, whether it’s useful or not, the incentive is to be highly stingy on what they log, to the detriment of their visibility and their users.
bitdrift is a bit of an unusual startup in that we’ve been at this for a while. The bitdrift team used to work at Lyft, and over several years developed a comprehensive internal solution to the problems outlined above. It supported 50+ million devices at Lyft and saved the company 10s of millions of dollars per year. We spun out as an independent company last year with Lyft as our first marquee customer, and raised $15M from leading investors like Amplify Partners.
We are a small team of kind and talented people. Join us as we navigate the murky waters of observability with renewed hope.
