Description For Senior Backend Engineer

Postscript is revolutionizing ecommerce marketing by introducing SMS as a powerful new channel for customer engagement, retention, and conversion. As a Senior Backend Engineer on the Flow Builder team, you'll play a crucial role in enhancing our message orchestration platform.
