About the position

As a Backend Engineer in one of our AI-focused teams, you will help build intelligent, AI-powered features that enhance how sales teams work. You’ll develop and maintain serverless, event-driven systems and APIs that integrate with third-party services. Working closely with senior engineers, you’ll take ownership of well-scoped features and contribute to technical and product discussions, helping design solutions that use modern AI capabilities to deliver real value to users. Rather than a monolithic environment, you’ll work within an ecosystem of services and help improve their reliability and quality. Your work will shape the end-user experience for all our customers.

Key Responsibilities

Build AI-powered features that use large language models to automate and enhance user workflows.
Contribute to improving our development processes and environments.
Build and maintain integrations with third-party platforms and APIs.
Help implement and maintain our growing ecosystem of microservices.
Work in teams where code reviews and pair programming are part of our strong engineering culture, learning from experienced engineers and sharing what you know.
Apply a security-first approach to the features and changes you deliver.
Grow your technical and architectural skills through mentoring from senior engineers, and support more junior colleagues where you can.
Keep the bigger picture in mind, because your work will reach 100,000 users globally.
