Senior Backend Engineer (Product)

About the role

James here 👋, co-founder and CTO at Conversion. Just wanted to share my thoughts on the perfect candidate we're looking to join our engineering team.

• Product focused: There are a lot of features that go into a marketing automation platform, and we're looking for engineers who can own entire products and scope out, design, and build them end to end. We believe the best PMs are engineers who understand the pain point, since they can best evaluate both the benefit and the cost of building a feature.
• Loved building for customers: We're extremely close with our customers. Every customer gets their own Slack channel in our org, and we add every engineer to the channel to directly answer questions, fix bugs, and ship features. You feel the urgency much more when you hear it from the end user.
• Built for scale: You light up at the challenge of building systems that reach millions of users and billions of events. You're detail-oriented, because at our scale the little things matter. You're energized by the fact that your work has massive, tangible impact.

Requirements

• 5+ years of industry experience shipping product features
