Introduction
At OpsLevel, we’re on a mission to help engineering teams wrangle large production architectures and adopt “You Build It, You Own It”. We’re building a Service Ownership Platform - starting with a Microservice Catalog - to make it easier for engineering teams to own and operate software in production. We want to take back DevOps: its roots were in Service Ownership and we want to bring it back there again.
Company
We're a seed-stage startup headquartered in Toronto, Canada and with employees working around the Americas. We have closed our seed round in Sept 2020 with fantastic Silicon Valley investors and have a growing roster of customers. As part of our growth, we’re hiring our first product manager to help contribute to our core product.
Our culture values the following traits in people:
- Empathy: Think of others; think of your users
- Growth Mindset: Get comfortable with being uncomfortable
- Intellectual Honesty: The best solution is more important than anyone's ego
- Focus & Efficiency: Keep the main thing the main thing
- Simplicity
Roles and Responsibilities
