“IT infrastructure is becoming increasingly more complex,” said LogicMonitor’s Director of Talent Acquisition, Stacey Richey. This presents a whole host of challenges, she said, from cloud migration, scaling, Internet of Things deployments and more.
Fortunately, as Richey put it, “that’s where LogicMonitor comes in.”
Founded in 2007, the Austin-based SaaS firm builds software that monitors IT infrastructure performance in real time, giving companies insights never before possible. Richey shared LogicMonitor’s story with Built In Austin, including the company’s recent explosion of growth.
How did LogicMonitor come to be?
LogicMonitor was born in the cloud over ten years ago, and as IT continues its massive shift towards SaaS, we have have emerged as the most comprehensive and easy-to-consume monitoring provider in the industry. We believe that IT teams have better things to do than to manage overly complex monitoring solutions.
How has the company grown within the last several years?
In 2012, LogicMonitor was roughly 50 people. Since then, we have experienced tremendous growth. We’ve built our product with scale in mind, which allows us to take on larger customers. We’ve developed product capabilities that are well suited for complex IT environments, and we’ve resourced our customer experience organization with amazing engineers.
We now support over 1,700 companies of all sizes, and we’ve grown our team to over 250 people across seven global offices. Looking forward to 2019, LogicMonitor’s growth will accelerate as we continue to globally scale.
Now that your team is expanding, what roles are available?
LogicMonitor’s entire organization is poised for unprecedented growth in the coming years. We are currently adding seasoned sales account executives, sales engineers, customer success managers, professional services engineers, product managers, software engineers, people operations specialists and recruiters to the team.
What do you look for in potential candidates that’s unique to LogicMonitor?
As a SaaS business, our future growth is dependent upon building long-term relationships with our customers. With that in mind, the best candidates have a deep passion for our customers’ success. We also look for highly intelligent people who embrace change. In a hyper-growth company, the one constant is change.

What are your favorite perks and benefits?
Each year, team members who deliver exceptional performances are invited to participate in our President’s Club program — an all-expenses-paid luxury stay in a remote tropical destination. Last year, we brought over 20 team members and their loved ones to the beautiful Kona coast of Hawaii.
In addition, all employees work in one of our several world-class office spaces with access to fully stocked kitchens, chill-out spaces, weekly group workouts, yoga and much, much more. Departments also organize quarterly offsite events such as wine tasting, go-kart racing, paintball, paddleboarding, or whatever event the group wants to build relationships over.
