About the role

We're looking for a Staff Engineer for our Messaging Experience team, responsible for building, maintaining, and evolving Canvas, our flagship product. That means supporting the orchestration and sending of messages for clients worldwide. Our products rely on sophisticated real-time and batch processing of massive amounts of data, providing analytics, automated decision-making, and an industry-leading customer engagement tool. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Have 7+ years of software engineering experience, including meaningful time as a technical leader influencing multiple teams or complex product systems
  • Experience building foundational backend systems at scale and working on complex and performant web-based user interfaces
  • Are comfortable working across the full stack. You have experience in Ruby on Rails and are proficient in modern frontend environments (TypeScript, React) where customers configure their experience
  • Have designed and shipped foundational infrastructure. You've built frameworks, libraries, or platform services used by many other engineers to build product features
  • Bring strong architectural judgment. You know when to invest in abstraction, when to keep things simple, and how to make technical bets that support a maturing product suite
  • Are an effective communicator and mentor. You can translate technical debt into business risk and elevate the engineers around you through coaching and clear technical vision
