At Mezmo (formerly LogDNA) we're building a fast, modern log management platform that offers the flexibility of an amazing developer experience with the trust of enterprise-grade infrastructure and compliance. Whether you're two dogs in a garage, or hundreds of developers all working towards a single goal (IBM, Instacart, Lime Bike), you can trust us with anywhere from kilobytes to petabytes of logs. We're in a golden age for developers, and we're no longer willing to settle for legacy architectures or slow, buggy, "Enterprise" experiences. We are passionate about building a consumer quality product experience, architected for modern development trends like containerization and hybrid cloud environments, as well as around modern tooling like Kubernetes. We're venture-backed by Emergence Capital (of Salesforce, Box, and Gusto fame), and Initialized Capital (of Reddit, Coinbase, and Patreon fame). We're hiring rapidly and looking for more like-minded, ambitious folks eager to change the status quo!
