About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Ship backend features and services across EvenUp's Growth pod - from multi-channel outreach agents to configurable communication workflows.
Own technical decisions within your scope end-to-end, from design through production.
Partner closely with Product and Design on ambiguous, evolving specs, especially around bespoke customer customization requests.
Build for low-latency, high-performance needs as usage scales.
Contribute across the team's email, SMS, and voice channel work.

Requirements

What you’ll need

A strong track record of shipping production systems end-to-end, and the ability to clearly explain the technical decisions you made and what you learned.
Comfortable working through ambiguity and solving problems that don’t come with a predefined solution.
Strong technical depth and the ability to dive into the details of your own work rather than speaking in generalities.
Experience with TypeScript and/or Python is a plus. Experience building AI-powered products, conversational AI, communication platforms, or SMS/compliance systems is an even bigger plus.
Around 5-8 years of software engineering experience as an individual contributor. We’re looking for builders who enjoy owning technical problems rather than pursuing people management.
