Senior Backend Engineer at Customer.io

This role is designed for a seasoned Senior Engineer with over 7 years of experience who specializes in building highly scalable, distributed systems. You should be an expert in Go (or similar statically typed languages) and comfortable navigating cloud-native environments like AWS or GCP. The team values "product-minded" engineers—people who don't just write code but understand how their technical decisions impact the end-user experience. The position offers a strong compensation package ($150k–$200k) with exceptional benefits, including 100% premium coverage for medical/dental for your entire family and a fully remote "Americas-based" workflow. You’ll enjoy high autonomy and an ownership-driven culture that avoids "gotcha" interviews in favor of practical system design and real-world assignments. It’s an ideal environment if you prefer moving fast and leveraging AI tools over corporate bureaucracy. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have extensive experience managing high-traffic distributed systems and relational databases (MySQL). * Value "bias for action" and feel comfortable making architectural decisions in ambiguous situations. * Enjoy communicating your work through writing and short videos rather than just sitting in meetings. * Are looking for a stable, remote-first company with "grown-up" benefits like 16 weeks of parental leave and unlimited PTO.
