• Take an active role in a friendly, supportive team that encourages you and the entire company to grow as individuals, professionals, and teams
• Mentor your coworkers through code review, pair programming, team collaboration, and training to help improve our collective knowledge and best practices together

What we're looking for:

• A collaborative mindset backed by excellent communication skills and a desire to help us make great decisions in an empathetic and respectful way
• Experience working with engineers and applying a deep understanding of their needs to produce timely solutions to their real-world problems
• Comfort working in UNIX environments and applying modern collaborative development practices.
• Proficiency in Go
• Proficiency in using front-end technologies like JavaScript and CSS to build complex web applications. Ember.js experience is nice to have.
• Ability to deliver high-quality solutions quickly and without mentorship

• Flexible schedule, work anywhere you want! - as long as you have a reliable internet connection and some overlapping work time with your manager, you can work where and when you want

All final candidates will be asked to complete an employment and education verification authorization form (which allows us to verify your job history and education listed on your resume) as part of our pre-employment process.

Customer.io recognizes the stifling impact of systemic injustice on diverse communities. We commit to using our influence to increase inclusion and equity within the tech industry. We strive to build an inclusive team culture, implement bias-free hiring practices, and develop community partnerships to expand our global impact.
