Staff Backend Engineer, Messaging Platform

Postscript is redefining marketing for ecommerce companies. By introducing SMS as an entirely new channel for ecommerce stores to engage, retain, and convert their customer base, brands are seeing huge ROI with Postscript. Backed by Greylock, Y Combinator and other top investors, Postscript is growing fast and looking for remarkable people to help build a world class organization.

As a Staff Engineer for the Core Platform/Messaging Platform team at Postscript, you will bring your passion for maximizing scalability to the task of leading the platform team's next gen architecture – from high level design to implementing common core components for the platform. Your work will directly contribute to building the fastest, most reliable, and functionally rich messaging platform for ecommerce on the market. You will be given the autonomy to grow to your full potential and your work will directly impact our customers and Postscript's bottom line.

The Staff role at Postscript is one of deep technical ownership. You will have a profound impact on the trajectory of the engineering org and help uplevel the wider engineering org through code contributions, critical leadership, mentorship, and decision-making. As a leader of engineers you will guide the platform in weighing technical constraints and business priorities to make the necessary trade-offs to deliver customer value.

Our backend stack is a mixture of Go microservices with Kafka, Mongo, Postgres, redshift and a variety of other technologies, as well as some code that remains in our original monolithic architecture built on postgres and python.

At the company level, your passion for building great products, especially in early to mid-stage companies, will lead you to have a meaningful and positive impact on both the product and the company. In addition, you will have the opportunity to help expand the engineering team and build out architecture and processes as we scale.

This is a fully remote position.
