About the role

What You'll Do

  • Own and evolve our data integration infrastructure — data infrastructure, marketing enablement, customer communication tools, and experimentation data flows
  • Build the connective tissue between Growth's external tools and internal systems
  • Partner closely with the broader Growth team to translate fast-moving priorities into well-scoped, executable engineering work
  • Balance velocity with system health — make deliberate tradeoffs and document your reasoning
  • Work across our full product stack as needed; this is a backend-focused role but we deeply value a generalist product engineering mindset

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • 5+ years of production software experience, with meaningful time in a startup or high-ownership environment
  • Data & experimentation infrastructure experience — and a genuine interest in going deeper on this skillset
  • Demonstrated ability to weigh technical tradeoffs between velocity and system health and make a defensible call
  • Experience translating ambiguous product requirements into scoped, well-defined work units — you're allergic to silos and knowledge hoarding
  • History of working closely with a strong PM on a user-facing team; you think about the end user, not just the implementation
  • An understanding of the highly iterative nature of Growth/top-of-funnel work — willingness to abandon unsuccessful experiments

Bonus:

  • Previous experience on a Growth or marketing-adjacent engineering team
  • Familiarity with Go, GCP, Kubernetes, or Terraform
  • Experience with Salesforce data pipelines or CRM integrations
  • Background in legal, healthcare, or financial services

Salary and Benefits

Base salary band: $157,250 - $230,000 in addition to equity and benefits.
