Three ex-Amazon engineers, Alex Solomon, Andrew Miklas, and Baskar Puvanathasan, started PagerDuty in 2009 after experiencing fragile on-call rotations under Amazon's 'you build it, you run it' model. Headquartered in San Francisco, the company turned on-call alerting into a full operations cloud spanning incident response, automation, AIOps, and customer service operations. Jennifer Tejada took the CEO seat in 2016 and steered the IPO onto NYSE under ticker PD in April 2019. Fiscal 2026 revenue reached roughly $493M with annual recurring revenue near $499M, and the platform now positions itself as a control plane for AI-driven operations.

Equity comp at PagerDuty
- RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

A protective put caps your downside on the PD position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current PD option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share PD position at $8.97 is worth $44,850. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $897 to $1,794) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off PD's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

PagerDuty equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge PD stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and PD's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current PD option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does PagerDuty grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at PagerDuty typically takes the form of non-qualified stock options (NSOs) and restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do PagerDuty RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. PagerDuty restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
