Staff Engineer

The role

You will design, build and run systems that send high volumes of email for many brands, and ship AI agents that plan, create and run campaigns. You will own what you build from first commit through production.

What you will do

• Design, build and run systems that send high volumes of email for many brands, reliably and on time.
• Ship the AI agents that plan, create and run campaigns, from first prototype to production.
• Own what you build from first commit to long after launch, including keeping it healthy in production.
• Turn fuzzy problems into small, shippable steps, then build to learn what's next.
• Work with teammates outside engineering and with brands to understand what they need, and explain technical trade-offs in plain terms.
• Raise the bar for the team: review code, share what you know, and pick up the unglamorous work that helps everyone move faster.

Required qualifications

• Have built distributed systems that handle high throughput, partial failure, retries and recovery, and know where they tend to break
• See the success of the team as their success
• Leave code and systems better than they found them
• Seek out trade-offs, not shortcuts, and turn disagreements into assumptions they can test
• Break big problems into clear steps and pick the right-sized solution, not the most elaborate one
• Explain technical ideas clearly to engineers and non-engineers alike
• Enjoy deep technical discussions with other low-ego engineers
• Want to keep growing while helping others level up
• Are curious about the domain and the problem, not just the code

Nice to have

• Worked at a startup and like the pace and breadth that come with it.
• Experience in email or marketing tech, such as deliverability, sending infrastructure or campaign tooling.
• Deep knowledge of e-commerce. Experience with Shopify is an extra plus
• Comfort developing data pipelines & using ML

Benefits

• Equity

Before you apply

• The posting says it does not accept unsolicited agency resumes and is not responsible for fees related to them.
