This presents an exciting challenge where you can apply your expertise in helping teams ship fast and safe to meaningfully improve the productivity of our engineering team. This role also provides a unique opportunity to work on a multi-cloud and multi-region infrastructure that supports a global customer base. Our monorepo is primarily Javascript/Typescript with some Go and Python. While the primary responsibility of this job is developer productivity, to fit in with the team and be productive in our codebase generally, strong computer science and development fundamentals will be required. As part of your onboarding, you’ll spend significant time writing and delivering features to gain empathy for the current dev flow.</p> <p>We believe in enabling our engineers to do their best work for our customers by giving them extremely high levels of ownership and autonomy. This comes in different forms: you will own and deliver projects from start to finish, you will work directly with customers to solve their hardest scaling problems, and you will have a lot of influence over what we work on as a team and company.</p> <p>Some of the problems we’ll be working on include:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Own the build</strong>: You’ll be the single threaded owner for the build/test/deploy of our software and how each team fits into it</li> <li><strong>Monorepo productivity:</strong> Detangle our build/test/deploy patterns so teams can move fast and not block each other.

An excellent engineer in this role will be able to “hold up a mirror” to our dev teams, helping each team understand where they have gaps</li> <li><strong>Multi-Region and Multi-Cloud: </strong>Supporting our multi-region and multi-cloud backend, including extending it to launch Hightouch on in new regions to support data residency requirements of our global customer base</li> <li><strong>Operational excellence: </strong>Support an increase in our ability to catch issues before they reach production and respond quickly if they do</li> </ul> <p>We are looking for talented, intellectually curious, and motivated individuals who are interested in tackling the problems above. This is a senior role, but we focus on impact and potential for growth more than years of experience.
