We operate at high scale—trillions of data points per day—providing always-on alerting, metrics visualization, logs, and application tracing for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.

Cloud Security teams help DevOps and security-teams work together, with 4 main products : Workload Security, Posture Management, Application Security Monitoring and Cloud SIEM. To become a leader in this domain, we need to consistently innovate, deliver new features to existing products and launch new products that will fulfill our customer needs.
