An overview of this role

As a Senior Fullstack Engineer on GTM Engineering, you will design and build the backend systems and services that power our go-to-market and growth platforms, while also contributing across the stack where needed. This is a strong fit if you want to work in a 0 to 1 space where you can shape what gets built, guide architectural choices, and guide work from specification through production health.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs that support GTM and growth platforms

• Contribute across the stack, including frontend work, when a feature or project calls for it

• Contribute to technical direction for the systems you own, including making build-versus-buy suggestions and evaluating trade-offs between speed and long-term maintainability

• Identify and resolve performance, scalability, or reliability issues in backend systems before they become user-facing problems

• Review code and designs from other engineers, and provide feedback for peers

• Mentor junior engineers on the team

• Document system design decisions and backend architecture so other engineers can build on your work without you in the room

What you'll bring

• A strong track record of owning backend systems in production

• Strong fullstack technical skills with proficiency in Vue, Node, Go, and Ruby

• Deep experience with backend service design, including API design, data modeling, and database performance

• A track record of making sound technical trade-offs independently

• Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift with campaign or launch timelines

• Clear written communication skills, including architecture proposals and design records that help distributed teams make progress asynchronously.

• A practical and proactive approach to collaboration, with transferable experience welcomed from adjacent platform, data, or product engineering backgrounds.

Nice to have

• Experience building systems for a marketing, growth, or GTM engineering context, such as web platforms, content tooling, or campaign infrastructure

• Experience working in a remote-first or distributed organization

• Experience mentoring other engineers and influencing technical direction beyond your own individual work

• Explaining those trade-offs clearly to both engineers
