Today, HighLevel supports SMBs across 150+ countries, fueling community-driven growth rooted in real customer outcomes.\nTo date, businesses operating on HighLevel have generated over $7 billion in ecosystem value, demonstrating the impact of shared infrastructure at scale. By centralizing conversations, automation and intelligence into one system, we help businesses move faster, reduce complexity and execute efficiently.\nBehind the platform, HighLevel powers more than 4 billion API hits and 2.5 billion message events daily. With 250 terabytes of distributed data, 250+ microservices and over 1 million domain names supported, our architecture is built for performance, resilience and long-term scalability.\nOur people\nWith over 2,000 team members across 10+ countries, HighLevel operates as a global, remote-first organization built for speed and ownership. We value initiative, clarity and execution, creating space for ambitious people to build systems that support millions of businesses worldwide. Here, innovation thrives, ideas are celebrated and people come first, no matter where they call home.\nOur impact\nEvery month, HighLevel enables more than 1.5 billion messages, 200 million leads and 20 million conversations for the more than 1 million businesses we support. Behind those numbers are real people building independence, expanding opportunity and creating measurable impact. We’re proud to be a part of that.\nLearn more about us on our YouTube Channel or Blog Posts\nWhat are we hiring for?\nThe systems that run millions of businesses.\nEvery month, 2.6 billion messages flow through our platform. Our automation engine enrolls 3.1 billion contacts and executes 21.5 billion workflow actions in the same window - with API traffic peaking at 28,000+ requests per second. If these systems lag, businesses lose leads. If they go down, people lose income.\nYou haven't built at this scale yet. That's fine - almost nobody has.\nWhat we're hiring for is the engineer who reads those numbers and feels pulled toward them. Who wants to know what a queue looks like when it's absorbing a 10x burst, what an index does at 1.5 TB, what \"eventually consistent\" actually means when a customer is staring at the screen. You'll work on real production paths from week one - with senior engineers around you who've broken and fixed these systems before. You'll build. You'll break things. You'll learn faster here than anywhere else.\n\nResponsibilities:\nBuild and ship features in Node.js / Go services that sit on real production paths - your code handles live traffic, not toy problems\n\nOwn well-scoped services and components end to end: code, tests, rollout, and monitoring\n\nWork with SQL and NoSQL data stores - writing queries, adding indexes, and learning why the schema looks the way it does\n\nGet hands-on with queues, caches, and rate limiters - the building blocks of every system here\n\nShip Vue 3 UIs that consume your own APIs - clean components, sane state management, and realtime updates that don't flicker or drift\n\nWrite design docs for your features and defend them in review - clear thinking, honest trade-offs\n\nJoin the on-call rotation with backup from senior engineers - incidents are where the deepest learning happens\n\nAsk questions relentlessly, absorb feedback from code reviews, and level up fast\n\nRequirements:\n2+ years of backend engineering experience with strong fundamentals in Node.js, Go, or a comparable language - and the drive to go deep in ours\n\nWorking knowledge of queues or async processing - you've used Pub/Sub, Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar, and want to master delivery semantics, ordering, and backpressure\n\nGenuine interest in distributed systems - you understand the basics (idempotency, retries, consistency trade-offs) and are hungry to learn the rest by building\n\nHands-on with Redis or another cache/in-memory store, even at small scale\n\nComfortable with SQL or NoSQL databases - you can model data, write efficient queries, and reason about indexes\n\nProficient in Vue 3 or a similar modern frontend framework - solid component design and real experience with state management (Pinia, Vuex, or equivalent)\n\nYou write tests as a habit and can put your design thinking into a clear doc\n\nAI-native builder - you code with agents daily and are pushing to get accurate, production-quality output from them\n\nTechnical Environment:\nLanguages: Node.js (TypeScript), Go\n\nFrontend: Vue 3, TypeScript, Pinia, Vite, Tailwind\n\nStorage: MongoDB, Firestore, Redis, ElasticSearch, ClickHouse\n\nInfra: GCP - GKE, Pub/Sub, Cloud Tasks\n\nCI/CD: GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes\n\nWhy This Role\nMost engineers spend years at companies where \"scale\" means a few hundred requests per second - and never find out what they're capable of.\nHere, the systems are the teacher. Every design decision has a visible consequence at billions of events a month. Every incident is a masterclass. You'll sit in architecture reviews with staff engineers debating storage engines and consistency models - and within a year, you'll be contributing to those debates, not just watching them.\nIf you optimize your career for learning velocity, there is no faster track than this.\nOn AI\nWe're past the debate. AI is part of how we build - and we expect you to be hungry for it.\nYou already code with agents daily. You're learning what they're good at, where they hallucinate, and how to get accurate, tested, slop-free code out of them fast. You treat AI as a multiplier on your learning speed, not a substitute for understanding.\nIf you're still copy-pasting from a chat window and hoping, this isn't the seat for you.\nWhat you're built for\nYou're deeply curious - you don't stop at \"it works,\" you need to know why it works\n\nYou read post-mortems and system-design write-ups for fun, not because someone assigned them\n\nYou've built things beyond your job description - side projects, internal tools, that one system you rewrote because the old one bothered you\n\nYou take feedback like a gift: code review comments make your next PR better, every time\n\nWhen something breaks, your first instinct is curiosity, not panic\n\nWhat Success looks like\nYou own a service or component that the team trusts you on completely\n\nYou're a dependable on-call engineer - you've debugged real incidents and shipped the fixes\n\nYour design docs have gone from \"reviewed heavily\" to \"approved with nits\"\n\nSenior engineers pull you into harder problems - because you've earned it\n\nYou're visibly on the path to SDE-3, and everyone around you knows it\n\nBonus Points\nFamiliarity with our stack: GCP, MongoDB, Firestore, ClickHouse, ElasticSearch\n\nYou've contributed to a messaging, automation, or event-driven system - at any scale\n\nSide projects or open-source work that shows you build because you can't not build","description_format":"text","description_chars":6964,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["CRM Software","Marketing Automation","Website Builders"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-17T06:37:24Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":22,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.509,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":49,"expected_fill_days":40,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gohighlevel-software-development-engineer-ii-conversations","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gohighlevel-software-development-engineer-ii-conversations.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T11:34:22Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14758,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":426},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=426"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgohighlevel-software-development-engineer-ii-conversations"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgohighlevel-software-development-engineer-ii-conversations"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgohighlevel-software-development-engineer-ii-conversations"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/gohighlevel-software-development-engineer-ii-conversations\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgohighlevel-software-development-engineer-ii-conversations"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":994429}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"gohighlevel.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":994429},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
