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.
Responsibilities:

Build and ship features inNode.js / Go servicesthat 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 withSQL and NoSQL data stores— writing queries, adding indexes, and learning why the schema looks the way it does

Get hands-on withqueues, caches, and rate limiters— the building blocks of every system here

ShipVue 3 UIsthat consume your own APIs — clean components, sane state management, and realtime updates that don't flicker or drift

Writedesign docs for your featuresand defend them in review — clear thinking, honest trade-offs

Join theon-call rotationwith backup from senior engineers — incidents are where the deepest learning happens

Ask questions relentlessly, absorb feedback from code reviews, and level up fast
Requirements:

2+ yearsof backend engineering experience with strong fundamentals inNode.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, ordering, and backpressure

Genuine interest in distributed systems— you understand the basics (idempotency, retries, consistency trade-offs) and are hungry to learn the rest by building

Hands-on withRedis or another cache/in-memory store, even at small scale

Comfortable withSQL or NoSQL databases— you can model data, write efficient queries, and reason about indexes

Proficient inVue 3 or a similar modern frontend framework— solid component design and real experience withstate management(Pinia, Vuex, or equivalent)

Youwrite tests as a habitand can put your design thinking into a clear doc

AI-native builder— you code with agents daily and are pushing to get accurate, production-quality output from them
Technical Environment:

Languages: Node.js (TypeScript), Go

Frontend: Vue 3, TypeScript, Pinia, Vite, Tailwind

Storage: MongoDB, Firestore, Redis, ElasticSearch, ClickHouse

Infra: GCP — GKE, Pub/Sub, Cloud Tasks

CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes
Why This Role

Most engineers spend years at companies where "scale" means a few hundred requests per second — and never find out what they're capable of.
Here, the systems are the teacher. Every design decision has a visible consequence at billions of events a month. Every incident is a masterclass. You'll sit in architecture reviews with staff engineers debating storage engines and consistency models — and within a year, you'll be contributing to those debates, not just watching them.
If you optimize your career for learning velocity,



there is no faster track than this.
On AI

We're past the debate. AI is part of how we build - and we expect you to behungry for it.
You already code with agents daily. You're learning what they're valuable at, where they hallucinate, and how to getaccurate, tested, slop-free codeout of them fast. You treat AI as a multiplier on your learning speed, not a substitute for understanding.
If you're still copy-pasting from a chat window and hoping, this isn't the seat for you.
What you're built for

You'redeeply curious— you don't stop at "it works," you need to knowwhyit works

You read post-mortems and system-design write-upsfor fun, not because someone assigned them

You've built things beyond your job description — side projects, internal tools, that one system you rewrote because the old one bothered you

You take feedback like a gift: code review comments make your next PR better, every time

When something breaks, your first instinct iscuriosity, not panic
What Success looks like

You own a service or component that the teamtrusts you on completely

You're a dependable on-call engineer — you've debugged real incidents and shipped the fixes

Your design docs have gone from "reviewed heavily" to "approved with nits"

Senior engineers pull you into harder problems —because you've earned it

You're visibly on the path to SDE-3, and everyone around you knows it
Bonus Points

Familiarity with our stack: GCP, MongoDB, Firestore, ClickHouse, ElasticSearch

You've contributed to a messaging, automation, or event-driven system — at any scale

Side projects or open-source work that shows you build because you can't not build
