Tech Stack

About the role

  • Write production code daily and deliver features that directly impact how customers understand their marketing attribution.
  • Own technical decision-making for our attribution platform's evolution, always connecting architectural choices to customer outcomes.
  • Collaborate closely with our engineering team to establish code review standards, share expertise in advanced Elixir patterns, and act as a technical resource for complex challenges.
  • Collaborate closely with our Product Manager and CPTO to transform customer problems and strategic goals into well-scoped engineering initiatives.

Requirements

  • Production Elixir expertise: You've built and maintained Elixir applications in production environments. You understand OTP principles, know when (and when not) to use GenServers, and can debug live systems without causing downtime.
  • Advanced PostgreSQL knowledge: You're comfortable optimizing complex queries, designing effective indexing strategies, and leveraging PostgreSQL features beyond basic CRUD operations (CTEs, window functions, JSONB operations, DISTINCT ON, etc.).
  • Curiosity about customer problems: You're as interested in why we're building something as how.
  • Self-direction and autonomy: You excel in small teams where you have the autonomy to identify problems and propose solutions.
  • Clear technical communication: You write readable, well-documented code and can explain technical trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Product partnership experience: You've partnered with product managers to define solutions, scope work, and establish project timelines.
Benefits
  • Equity stake in a profitable, growing company
  • Comprehensive health benefits
  • Flexible remote work arrangements (or hybrid for NYC-based candidates)
  • Modern equipment and tooling
