Founding Engineer - Frontend
Oodle’s mission is to build an iconic observability company! Oodle (oodle.ai) enables developer and SRE teams to handle 10x more data at a tenth of the price. Oodle is disrupting Observability just like snowflake has disrupted data warehousing. We are taking a unique and fundamentally new architectural approach to Observability by building a unified experience for logs, metrics and traces. We’re a seed funded company backed by the top tier VCs in the Observability, and Infra/AI spaces. We deeply care about diverse teams, especially diversity of thought and perspective.
The founders are serial entrepreneurs (ex-Rubrik, AWS, YC, and IIT Alumni) who have built world class teams over the last decade. They lived through observability pain points for 8+ years - both as a buyer at a high scale company for 4.5 years (Rubrik) and as a company builder selling to the same buyer (4+ years at YC Startup). Our team has built and launched world-class products like Rubrik Security Cloud, AWS S3, DynamoDB, and Snowhouse at Snowflake. The team has not only co-founded startups but also understands how to scale them.
