Senior Backend Engineer - Growth
Builds and owns backend systems for growth experiments, data pipelines, marketing integrations, and user communications in a fast-paced startup environment. Requires 5+ years experience with data infrastructure and balancing velocity with system health.
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
