Job description

A US-based company that connects executives with part-time assistants and delegation tools to ease up their work, is looking for a Senior Back-End Engineer. The selected candidate will be responsible for creating internal tools to aid the company's customer service and operations teams. The company believes that when employers delegate the work and outsource it to the right people, they will be able to focus on other important tasks. The company has managed to successfully raise close to $15 mn in funding.

Job Responsibilities:

Have firm ownership and impact on the company’s back-end services
Collaborate with product managers, software engineers, and members of the customer success and operations teams to ensure the delivery of usable, desirable, and useful product experiences and tools
Help in integrating the company’s services with third-party client-facing APIs and products, like Slack, Zapier, and various other productivity tools as they emerge in the future

Solve some of the start bugs and work on shipping improvements to the company’s existing stack
Work on setting up simple automation to better the company’s internal processes
Partner with the web and product teams to work on a medium-scope feature, develop it end-to-end, and then ship it to the end-users
Develop internal tools to assist the company’s customer service and ops teams
Consistently engage with the company’s assistants to assist them with any bug or issue, and maintain involvement in the user research efforts to build empathy with the company’s users
Maintain participation in brainstorming sessions to provide input on the features you are responsible for and on the overall product roadmap
Lead a large-scale project implementation that has an impact on a vast surface area of the company’s product; this can be the double service integration with third-party APIs
Possess a proper intuition of which projects are challenging and which ones can be delivered easily, given the company’s tech stack
Work on solving pain points in the development experience
Modernize the company’s back-end to facilitate new competencies in the client applications
Handle complex bugs by adding more instruments and writing simple bots and scripts that integrate with the team's tools to ensure everyone is in the loop
Work on solving performance problems on both client and back-end side
Respond to production incidents and extract learnings from them to ensure they aren’t repeated
Fill gaps left behind by the product team when encountering an edge case and be comfortable with asking for a second opinion
Rewrite from scratch or delete the feature you had launched, and be comfortable with that
Participate in recruiting and onboarding new team members
Contribute to establishing the company’s engineering culture
Interact with all functions of the company, including Customer Success, Operations, and Marketing, to ensure the right product is being built
Maybe also work on merging a few PRs to the company’s iOS codebase

Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science (or equivalent experience)

Comfortable with sharing feedback about the product the company is building, even if you aren’t an expert
Must be a self-starter that knows how to handle ambiguity
Comfortable with taking the initiative to increase the team’s efficiency by implementing process and tooling improvements,
Take ownership of opportunities entailed with working in an early-stage organization
