Hey there! James here 👋, co-founder and CTO at Conversion. Just wanted to share my thoughts on the perfect candidate we're looking to join our engineering team.
First off, I want to stress the technical difficulty and scale of what we're building here at Conversion. The reason marketing automation platforms haven't seen a new player in decades is because building one is hard. Our platform needs to handle gigabytes of data syncs per customer with the utmost reliability, coordinate complex workflows that automate mission critical "go-to-market" processes, handle form submissions that directly generate revenue for customers, and serve high delivering emails to millions of our customer's recipients.
With that being said, here's what we're looking for in a backend software engineer to join our core team:
- Product focused: There is quite a bit of features that go into a marketing automation platform, and so we're looking for folks that can own entire products and scope out, design, and build features end to end. We believe the best PMs are engineers who understand the pain point, since they can best evaluate both the benefit and the cost of building a feature.
- P.S. if you prefer building the systems that power our infrastruture, check out our Platform Engineering role!
- Love building for customers: We at Conversion are extremely close with customers- every customer gets their own Slack channel in our organization for faster communication, and we add every engineer to the channel to directly answer questions, fix bugs, and build features! You feel the urgency much more when you hear it directly from the end user.
- Intellectually curious: Conversion engineers are group of bright-eyed and constantly curious individuals, who love debating database designs (or if we'd win in a fight against an ostrich) at lunchtime. 
You Might Be a Good Fit If You
- Have a startup mindset - Scrappy, intelligent, and entrepreneurially minded individuals interested in joining a fast paced startup and looking for early ownership and growth
- Have experience with our tech stack: Golang in the backend, a job queuing system with Kafka, PostgreSQL as our database and cloud hosting with GCP
- Often on tech Twitter
- Track record of side projects, apps, hackathons. Our engineers have built a live streaming security system for their parent's new house, a database from scratch, a better "Splitwise" app, and hosted our Minecraft server, all while at Conversion!
