About the role
We're building HighLevel's Ticketing module, the help desk that lets businesses manage support conversations across email and other channels: tickets, SLAs, assignments, automations and real-time inboxes. You'll own features end to end, from Go services and workers to the Vue.js UI, and run them in production on GCP at scale.
Team & System Overview:
The Conversations organization powers multi-channel communication across SMS, Email, WhatsApp, and DMs - handling over 2B messages each month. The Threads & Composer team owns the inbox and composer surfaces, and the backend services that deliver and store those interactions.You’ll work across Node.js microservices, GCP-based infra (GKE, Pub/Sub, Cloud Tasks), and MongoDB/Firestore storage layers, ensuring every message and UI state stays consistent, fast, and recoverable.
Responsibilities:
Design, build and ship ticketing features across backend (Go) and frontend (Vue.js). - Build event-driven services and workers on Pub/Sub, Cloud Tasks and Redis, such as SLA timers, email ingestion, assignments and real-time updates. - Own the reliability of your services: dashboards, alerts, on-call debugging and fixing performance problems. - Design data models and APIs that hold up at multi-tenant scale, and review designs and code across the team. - Mentor engineers and work with Product, QA and partner teams (Email, IAM, Platform) to ship on time.
Requirements:
5+ years of software engineering experience, with strong production experience in Golang. - Solid frontend experience with Vue.js (Vue 3, Composition API, TypeScript). - Redis, used in depth: caching, pub/sub fan-out, locks, rate limiting and data-structure design. - Experience with GCP: GKE/Kubernetes, Pub/Sub, Firestore or other NoSQL, Cloud Storage. - Strong distributed-systems fundamentals: idempotency, retries, queues, concurrency and consistency trade-offs. - Track record of owning features from design to production and debugging live issues.
What we look for
Strong ownership, clear written communication, pragmatic engineering judgment, and a habit of
measuring before optimizing.
Good to have
Monitoring and observability: Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry tracing, log tools such as HyperDX, ClickHouse or ELK. - Help desk, CRM or email domain knowledge (Gmail/Outlook APIs, threading, SLA engines). - Istio or service mesh, Helm, CI/CD (Jenkins). - Real-time UIs (SSE, WebSockets, Firestore listeners). - Elasticsearch or another search engine.
