Get in on the ground floor at one of Boston's top startups and help us solve a huge challenge for developers and product teams: understanding the customer experience. LogRocket is the first system that gives these teams complete visibility into their customer's experience through pixel-perfect replays of user sessions and clear insight into logs, errors, and network activity. We've already attracted an elite roster of customers such as Reddit, Bloomberg, and NBC and raised over $30M from top investors including Battery Ventures and Matrix Partners to continue building a world-class product and team.

  • Work with fellow engineers to build out other parts of the infrastructure, effectively communicating your needs and understanding theirs
  • Meet with external customers to gain an understanding of their business and how LogRocket can provide data-driven solutions to their challenges
  • Build intelligence into our services to make them smarter

  • Open vacation policy - we all work hard and take time for ourselves when we need it, no strings attached
  • Extensive Health, Dental, Vision benefits paid for by us, along with 401k and Commuter benefits
