We are looking for a

to take responsibility for our monorepo and the "path to production" for over 50 engineers pushing over 75 commits a day with continuous deployment to production. 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. 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. Some of the problems we'll be working on include: •

: You'll be the single threaded owner for the build/test/deploy of our software and how each team fits into it •

Detangle our build/test/deploy patterns so teams can move fast and not block each other. Investigate/implement a tool like turbo repo to speed builds and separate concerns •

We need to improve our top-down and team-level views into test coverage + support an ever growing matrix of data sources, data destinations, and enrichment patterns. 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 •

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 •

Support an increase in our ability to catch issues before they reach production and respond quickly if they do 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. The salary range for this position is $180,000 - $400,000 USD per year, which is location independent in accordance with our remote-first policy. We also offer meaningful equity compensation in the form of ISO options, and offer early exercise and a 10 year post-termination exercise window.

Our goal with the interview process is to balance speed with giving both parties opportunities to assess whether there is a strong mutual fit. We will ask you questions, but we want you to ask us questions! Our technical interviews focus on how you design systems because we believe this is the best way for us to see how you work and for you to see how we collaborate. We don't ask you to write code to solve technical brainteasers that don't appear in your day to day job. •
