We're turning integrations from a bottleneck into a growth driver for hundreds of companies, from high-growth startups to Fortune 500s.\nOur platform handles everything that breaks at scale, so teams can ship integrations, not infrastructure. It provides flexible, AI-enabled build experiences through code-native, low-code, and an embedded workflow builder, plus self-service configuration and an embedded marketplace.\nPrismatic is well-funded with strong product-market fit and a high-agency, driven, collaborative culture.\nAbout the role:\nThe Prismatic platform puts an enormous amount of power in the hands of less-technical users, providing them a cohesive system for developing, testing, deploying, and monitoring integrations. This makes infrastructure a key part of shaping product capabilities and user outcomes, making this a unique opportunity for engineers who want their work to have direct product impact. The system is hosted in AWS, automated with Terraform and GitLab CI, with TypeScript used heavily across backend services, both internal and public-facing.\nWe're looking for a Senior Engineer who is excited to work as part of a fully remote team to build new internal and public-facing services, improve performance and observability, and scale our platform to support a growing team and product. We expect every engineer to contribute thoughtful, meaningful code and participate in architectural and design discussions that span the full stack.
