By integrating CRM, web signals, and product interaction data into real-time systems, we help businesses turn interest into action-immediately. We’re growing fast, and building scalable data infrastructure and applications that allow us to onboard, understand, and activate customer data quickly is core to our success.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for a Senior / Staff Software Engineer - Data Platform to build and evolve the data and application systems that power our Marketing AI and AI Sales Agents. This is a hands-on engineering role with significant ownership across data pipelines, backend applications, analytics systems, and customer data integrations. You will build systems that ingest data from a wide variety of customer platforms, transform it into reliable and curated datasets, and make that data available to our ML systems, analytics applications, and customer-facing products. The role is primarily backend focused, but we are a startup-you should be comfortable working across the stack and occasionally building frontend functionality when needed to get a product or capability shipped. We value engineers who can take an ambiguous problem, determine the right technical approach, and drive it independently from design through production.\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn backend and data systems end-to-end, from architecture and implementation to production operation and scale\nDesign and build scalable data pipelines for CRM, web, advertising, product, and other customer data\nBuild integrations with data warehouses and platforms such as BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, and customer-managed databases\nDesign reliable ingestion patterns across APIs, cloud storage, databases, data sharing, batch processing, and event-driven systems\nBuild curated datasets and data models used by ML systems, analytics, reporting, and customer-facing applications\nDevelop backend APIs, services, and internal applications using Python and TypeScript\nBuild systems for large historical backfills as well as reliable, low-latency incremental processing\nSolve systemic problems around data quality, schema evolution, scalability, observability, reliability, and operational efficiency\nBuild tooling that makes customer onboarding, data validation, configuration, and troubleshooting faster and more automated\nWork across GCP and AWS and make pragmatic architecture decisions based on the problem at hand\nOccasionally contribute to frontend applications when necessary to deliver complete product experiences\nHelp define architecture, engineering standards, and reusable patterns as the platform scales\nMentor other engineers and raise the engineering bar across the team\nFollow and enforce security best practices, including secure coding, proper handling of sensitive data, authentication/authorization controls, and compliance with company security policies\nQualifications\nMust Have\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience\n7+ years of experience building production software systems\nStrong hands-on software engineering experience with Python and TypeScript / Node.js\nSignificant experience designing and operating backend services and production data pipelines\nStrong SQL skills and experience working with large datasets and analytical databases\nExperience building and operating systems in GCP and/or AWS\nDemonstrated ability to independently own complex systems from design through production\nStrong problem-solving skills and ability to move quickly in ambiguous environments\nShould Have\nExperience with modern data warehouses and platforms such as BigQuery, or Redshift\nExperience building ingestion frameworks across APIs, databases, object storage, and event-driven systems\nStrong understanding of distributed systems, data modeling, idempotency, retries, concurrency, and failure recovery\nExperience building curated datasets and data infrastructure supporting machine learning and analytics workloads\nExperience designing production APIs and backend services at scale\nExperience with cloud services such as GCS, S3, Cloud Run, Lambda, SQS/PubSub, Postgres/RDS, or equivalent technologies\nStrong understanding of monitoring, observability, automated testing, and production operations\nProven ability to influence technical direction through architecture and execution\nNice to Have\nExperience integrating with CRM and marketing platforms such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Ads, Meta, or similar systems\nExperience building multi-tenant SaaS platforms\nFamiliarity with ML training, feature generation, inference, and model-serving workflows\nExperience with modern frontend frameworks such as React or Next.js\nExperience with Terraform or other Infrastructure as Code tooling\nFamiliarity with ad-tech, mar-tech, sales-tech, or CRM ecosystems\nExperience building developer platforms, data onboarding frameworks, or self-service data tooling\nWhat Success Looks Like\nCustomer data can be onboarded and activated significantly faster with less manual engineering work\nData pipelines remain reliable as data volume, customer count, and integration complexity increase\nML and product teams have clean, trusted, and reusable datasets they can build on\nTeams move faster because of the platforms, abstractions, and tooling you build\nTechnical architecture scales cleanly with product ambition\nYou identify problems proactively and drive them to resolution without requiring detailed direction\nYou create durable engineering leverage across the company\nPay range and compensation package\nBased on the level hired at and location, the base salary for this role will be in the range $180,000 - $260,000.
