Senior Backend Engineer - Growth

We're looking for a backend or backend-leaning product engineer who thrives in that environment - someone who can move with urgency during experimentation without leaving a mess behind.

This role is less about building polished product surfaces and more about owning the systems that makes Growth function: getting the right data between the right systems at the right time. Think experimentation infrastructure, marketing data pipelines, automated comms, and user identity. If you've done this kind of work and want to go deeper on it, this is the right place.

You'll also be a core thought partner to product & design - helping turn ambiguous Growth hypotheses into clear, scoped work that we can ship quickly and test rigorously.

- 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

- 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

- 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

This is a rare opportunity to join a startup that has strong traction (substantial funding, well-respected backers, tremendous growth, and many happy customers) but is still small enough that you can have a huge impact and play a role in shaping our culture.

We anticipate the base salary band for this role will be between $157,250 and $230,000 in addition to equity and benefits. The salary at offer will be determined by a number of factors such as candidate's experience, knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as internal equity among our team.

This job is fully remote and we're committed to empowering everyone with flexibility. Work remotely, and travel to LA (on the company dime) as needed to be with your colleagues -somewhere between quarterly and yearly. We care a lot about building a great culture and we think some interactions need to happen in person, so we put a lot of thought into retreats, offsites, and other ways to gather.
