Sorry about the duplicate post -- wanted to make sure people could ask questions about the job or PagerDuty. (Is there a way to enable comments for job stories directly?)

As a YC company people can't comment on job postings, I believe.

Congrats on the growth guys - keep up the good work. I have suggested your service to IT folks at some financial firms that are deprecating physical pagers.

Thanks very much!

In a perverse sort of way I want this job, but only for the moment of mind-bending when I get a page from pagerduty telling me pagerduty is down.

Heh heh... we actually have a good solution to that problem. Join us and see ;)

It involves flying-chipmunk-delivered telegrams, from what I understand.

Hey! No revealing trade secrets!

I thought I understood the basics of startup finance, but these seem fundamentally contradictory: - Competitive salary (we’re funded & generate significant revenue) - Stock options (… in a pre series A company)

Not the salary vs. stock options. I mean how can you both be funded and pre-series A?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_A_round

Angel funding. Many companies raise XXX,XXX this way, and it is considered pre series-A.

Correct, we've raised an angel round, but haven't yet done a series A. This allows us to offer a reasonable salary with a much larger ownership slice than would be possible with a post series A company.

By the way, it's also becoming more common to see angel rounds with X,XXX,XXX as the amount raised.

Any chance to also consider a remote guy? Very eager to learn and work in a startup.

Hmm... we'd prefer someone able to come in, but we'd consider someone remote. Please send me an email (andrew@pagerduty.com) if you'd like to chat.

If it doesn't work out with PagerDuty, drop me a line.
