What are we hiring for?

The systems that run millions of businesses.

Every month, 2.6 billion messages flow through our platform. Our automation engine enrolls 3.1 billion contacts and executes 21.5 billion workflow actions in the same window - with API traffic peaking at 28,000+ requests per second. If these systems lag, businesses lose leads. If they go down, people lose income.

You haven't built at this scale yet. That's fine - almost nobody has.

What we're hiring for is the engineer who reads those numbers and feels pulled toward them. Who wants to know what a queue looks like when it's absorbing a 10x burst, what an index does at 1.5 TB, what "eventually consistent" actually means when a customer is staring at the screen. You'll work on real production paths from week one - with senior engineers around you who've broken and fixed these systems before.

You'll build. You'll break things. You'll learn faster here than anywhere else.

• Build and ship features in Node.js / Go services that sit on real production paths — your code handles live traffic, not toy problems
• Own well-scoped services and components end to end: code, tests, rollout, and monitoring
• Work with SQL and No
  
  SQL data stores — writing queries, adding indexes, and learning why the schema looks the way it does
• Get hands-on with queues, caches, and rate limiters — the building blocks of every system here
• Ship Vue 3 UIs that consume your own APIs — clean components, sane state management, and realtime updates that don't flicker or drift
• Write design docs for your features and defend them in review — clear thinking, honest trade-offs
• Join the on-call rotation with backup from senior engineers — incidents are where the deepest learning happens
• Ask questions relentlessly, absorb feedback from code reviews, and level up fast

• 2+ years of backend engineering experience with strong fundamentals in Node.js, Go, or a comparable language — and the drive to go deep in ours
• Working knowledge of queues or async processing — you've used Pub/Sub, Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar, and want to master delivery semantics,…
