We are not here to blend in. We are here to redefine what observability means and how it is delivered.
groundcover has built a radically different approach to cloud-native observability that competitors can’t match. As a part of our Sales team, you won’t just sell a product, you’ll help reshape the narrative of the category so the world understands why groundcover is the clear, modern choice for engineering and operations teams.
About groundcover
groundcover is a fast-growing Series B startup delivering the industry’s most modern observability platform for cloud-native environments. Powered by BYOC and eBPF and designed for Kubernetes from day one, our platform delivers full stack observability with dramatically lower cost, operational overhead, and complexity.
As systems evolve toward AI powered services and LLM based applications, observability must evolve with them. groundcover is built for this reality, enabling teams to understand performance, reliability, and behavior across microservices, infrastructure, and AI workloads.
