About this role
A little
about usincident.io is the AI software reliability platform trusted by engineering teams at Netflix, Etsy, and 2,000+ companies who can't afford downtime.The stakes are real, the talent is insane, and somehow it's a genuinely lovely place to work.
We all pull our weight, go the extra mile, and put in the bit of magic most companies don't have time for, all while having fun and never taking ourselves too seriously.We've raised $96 million from Index Ventures, Insight Partners, and Point Nine, and we're growing fast.

That means real partnerships, shared context, and accountability that goes both ways.
You'll also work alongside CS from early in the deal, which means handoffs that don't lose the thread.What makes the selling here different is the product and the story behind it. incident.io is an AI-native platform built by engineers, for engineers - our founders have been on-call, they've felt the 2am page, and the
