We’re looking for someone who is as passionate about our product and customers as we are— as a Support Engineer you will have the opportunity to shape the future of our support organization and technology. 
Backed by leading VCs and software executives and founded by ex-Google cloud engineers and PMs, Stackwatch empowers teams to efficiently operate Kubernetes at scale.

  • Take the lead on developing and improving our support processes and systems, laying the foundation for a world-class support organization
  • Champion the value and benefits of Kubecost to customers and prospects
  • Work directly with the founding team and engineers to influence the product and its roadmap
  • Contribute code where you see an opportunity

  • Availability during our support hours (currently 9am-8pm Eastern Time)
  • Experience with at least one of the main cloud providers (AWS, GCP or Azure)
  • Experience with Kubernetes, comfort with related terminology, and an eagerness to learn more
  • Experience with or a general understanding of the following projects: Helm, Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana, Rancher, CoreOS, Docker, DuckDB and ability to quickly learn
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, professional and friendly demeanor, and comfort interacting with customers via email, Slack, phone, and video


  • Compensation
  • We evaluate our pay scales on a semiannual basis to ensure competitiveness with the upper end of the market for comparably-sized companies, and maintain equitable and transparent compensation policies and processes. Placement within the range will be based on skillset and experience.
  • The range for this position is: $150k-$175k
  • The equity compensation for this position is: .04%-.08%


  • Our Values:
    Launch & learn—We are resourceful, biased toward action/experimentation, and value a growth mindset.
    Strive for excellence, get results—We aim high & take pride in our work, but maintain focus on progress, not perfection.
