About Epsagon
Epsagon was founded to bring observability and automation to development and engineering teams leveraging microservices within their application architectures. Headquartered in the Flatiron District of NYC, our diverse team seeks to build, market, support, and sell a best-in-class, developer-focused tool that increases engineering efficiency and optimizes application service costs within today’s most tech-forward teams and companies. Having closed our Series A last year (with $30M in funding to-date) and seeing significant revenue and headcount growth, we’re seeking to continue expanding our team with a Director of People.
