## Job description

## What we're building

In 2026, we're on the verge of an "infinite software crisis." How will we support, maintain, and operate the explosion in application development? Our answer is Sazabi: the AI-native observability platform for fast-moving engineering teams. Sazabi gives teams a single place to ask questions about their production systems in plain language, automatically visualize what's happening, and get to the root cause 10x faster. No tedious instrumentation. No dashboard configuration. No alert tuning. Just answers. We're backed by tastemakers from the world's top AI companies: Vercel, Graphite, Daytona, Browserbase, LangChain, Mastra, Replit, and more.

## What you’ll do

- Own the full sales cycle: sourcing → closing → expansion
- Work directly with founders on early GTM strategy
- Talk to users constantly and refine positioning based on real conversations
- Run demos, close deals, and help customers get value quickly
- Build the foundation for future sales processes and playbooks
- Do whatever it takes to win early customers

## What we're looking for

- Experience selling technical products to developers or engineering teams
- Strong product intuition—you understand what you're selling deeply
- Scrappy, resourceful, and comfortable with zero structure
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills
- High agency: you create opportunities instead of waiting for them
- Bonus: early-stage startup experience or hybrid sales + product background

You’ll fit in great if you're excited about Twitter and agents!

## What we offer

- Competitive salary and equity
- Free lunches (in-office only)
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Unlimited paid time off
- Paid parental leave

Learn how we think and work Our team comes from Brex, Y Combinator, Rootly, Google, Doppel, and other top tech companies. We move fast and hold a high bar for both the product and each other. We operate according to six values:

- Integrity. We say what we mean, do what we say, and own our mistakes.
- Urgency. We treat every week like it matters, because it does.
- Craftsmanship. We care deeply about the quality of our work.
- Service. We're here to make developers’ and our teammates’ lives easier.
- Kindness. We're direct, and we move fast, but we treat each other well.
- Fun. We genuinely enjoy working together. If you don't love what you're building and who you’re building it with, what's the point?

You can find out more about us here:

- Watch our [launch video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dpIZn_P_rE)
- Read the [manifesto](https://www.sazabi.com/manifesto)
- Follow us on [X](https://x.com/sazabi) and [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/sazabi/)

The Sazabi philosophy Sazabi is more than just a tool. It’s also a philosophy. We're taking a radically different approach to observability, centered on three big ideas:

- Less is more. Most observability platforms drown you in dashboards and modules that you don’t need. We believe observability needs less UI, not more. Sazabi surfaces exactly the information you need in a simple, beautiful chat interface.
- Logs are all you need. The “three pillars of observability” idea is outdated. Sazabi accepts only one kind of telemetry: logs. This simplifies the instrumentation and product experience dramatically.
- Monitoring is dead. Creating and maintaining static alerts for a fast-evolving system is a fool’s errand. The future is agentic anomaly detection: AI agents that automatically check your app for issues 24-7.

We came to these beliefs the hard way — after years of building infrastructure and responding to incidents with tools that offered plenty of bells and whistles, but no clear answers when it counted most. If this way of thinking resonates with you, come build with us.

## About Sazabi

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Sazabi is building an AI-native observability platform that reimagines how engineering teams understand and fix production systems using conversational interfaces and autonomous agents.
- **Entity Type**: Private (YC Spring 2026, closed alpha, angel-backed)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Sherwood Callaway (CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Infrastructure / Observability (DevOps, monitoring, incident response)
- **Target customers**: Fast-moving B2B engineering teams (startups and mid-market companies using modern cloud stacks)
- **Mission**: To become the default observability solution for companies of all sizes during the AI era — rethinking observability from first principles to be conversational, intelligent, and built for teams who move fast.

## Products & Services
- **Sazabi Platform** (SaaS): An AI-native observability platform that ingests logs (stdout/stderr) from any source, uses AI agents to continuously monitor infrastructure and code, detects anomalies, surfaces root causes via natural language chat (Slack, CLI, Web, MCP), and can even auto-generate pull requests to fix issues. Key features include:
  - "Logs Are All You Need" – no metrics/traces required; uses AI to perform complex queries, aggregations, and request tracing on log data alone.
  - Conversational debugging: interrogate applications in plain language.
  - Autonomous alerts with full context (never misfire).
  - Perfect Memory – learns from past incidents and traffic patterns.
  - Agent-driven instrumentation (OpenTelemetry compatible, auto-generates instrumentation code via PRs).
  - Integrations with 35+ cloud/hosting providers (Vercel, AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, Neon, Supabase, etc.).
  - Coding agent integrations (Cursor, Codex, Claude Code) for seamless handoff.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Funding**: Not disclosed (seed-stage; part of Y Combinator Spring 2026 batch; raised from prominent angel investors)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding amount not disclosed; currently in closed alpha with rapid adoption: 35 new teams onboarded in past month, 2 TB of logs ingested, 200 PRs opened, 2,000 issues detected.
- **Notable Investors / Backers**: Angels include Harrison Chase (CEO, LangChain), Merrill Lutsky (CEO, Graphite), Ivan Burazin (CEO, Daytona), Matt Biilmann (CEO, Netlify), Paul Klein (CEO, Browserbase). Backed by tastemakers from Vercel, Mastra, Replit, and more.
- **Growth Signals**: YC-backed (Spring 2026), team size grew from 9 engineers at launch to 10, closed alpha with accelerating customer onboarding, active hiring for multiple roles (see careers page).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vertical integration**: Builds the entire AI observability stack (interface, agent, storage layer) end-to-end, enabling capabilities competitors can't replicate (e.g., memorizing every historical incident, optimizing DB for agentic query patterns).
- **Logs-only approach**: Eliminates the need for metrics/traces, drastically simplifying instrumentation.
- **AI-native from day one**: Not adding AI features to legacy tools; designed for conversational interaction and autonomous alerting.
- **Founding team's deep domain expertise**: Founder Sherwood Callaway (2x YC founder, built infrastructure/observability teams at Brex) plus 3 other early Brex engineers and 2 former observability founders.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priority**: Accelerate closed alpha adoption, refine product-market fit, and scale the platform. Openly seeking new customers via YC Launch page.
- **Future vision**: A world where software heals and improves itself without human intervention — systems that understand their own health, diagnose issues, and fix bugs autonomously.
- **Medium-term**: Build out integrations, expand agent capabilities, and eventually offer self-healing workflows.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: Small, high-density team of 10 (as of early 2026) with a focus on first-principles thinking, vertical integration, and moving fast. Values include engineering excellence, autonomy, and a conversational approach to problem-solving.
- **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Based in San Francisco; open positions listed on Ashby (sazabi.jobs.ashbyhq.com) include roles in San Francisco with "FULL TIME" labels. Likely in-office or hybrid given early stage.
- **Notable perks / engineering culture**: Work at the cutting edge of AI + infrastructure; tight integration with top AI dev tools; direct interaction with customers; opportunity to shape the platform from scratch; backed by influential angels from the AI ecosystem.
- **Current open roles** (from careers page): Software Engineer (Agents, Infra/Data, Product), Security Engineer, Marketing Lead, Operations Lead, Account Executive, Customer Support Lead — suggesting a rapidly scaling organization.
