Real-time network intelligence platform for infrastructure and cloud operations
Kentik operates a network observability platform built on Go, Node.js, Python, and Kafka — a modern stack for handling high-cardinality flow and device telemetry. The hiring profile skews senior (8 of 10 roles) across sales, engineering, and product, with active work on cloud product launches and storage infrastructure optimization, indicating a shift toward supporting multi-cloud deployments alongside traditional data-center networking.
Kentik is a network intelligence platform that aggregates and correlates cloud, device, flow, and synthetic telemetry to give infrastructure and platform teams visibility into network performance and issues. Founded in 2014 and based in San Francisco, the company operates in the 201–500 employee range and sells to engineering-led organizations running complex hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure. The platform unifies flow-based analytics, DDoS detection, and container and cloud networking observability into a single pane of glass. Active projects span cloud product line expansion, storage layer optimization for query performance, and demand-generation programs targeting enterprise prospects.
Kentik's core platform runs on Go, Node.js, and Python with Kafka for streaming, PostgreSQL and MySQL for relational data, and Redis for caching. The frontend uses React and JavaScript. Infrastructure includes Nomad and HashiCorp tooling.
Current projects include a cloud product launch, synthetics and cloud product line maintenance, high-performance storage layer optimization for query speed, and a multi-year technical roadmap for KDE storage services.
