Senior Front End Engineer

Description

Customer.io is looking for an experienced Front End Engineer to help build fast, sexy interfaces that people enjoy using. You'll join join our team of 5. We're a geo-distributed company.

You can be wherever you want to be.

About the company:
Customer.io is an email marketing platform for web and mobile apps. Our customers include Shopify, Shutterstock, The Economist, and over 400 others. We started with angel funding in 2012. In 2013 we had explosive growth and grew revenue 20x . We just crossed our break-even point, have cash in the bank and we're planning to stick around for a long time growing with money from subscription revenue, not more investors.

We're building a fully distributed company. We started in NYC but made the decision to make the company remote. Our CEO is moving to Portland, Oregon. We have one person in Washington state. John, our CTO decided to leave NY and is working while traveling the world.

The role:
You should be a product focused engineer ready to work on an infrastructure app that is mission critical for your peers at over 400 other tech companies.

People use Customer.io to send millions of emails each day. The two primary people using the app are engineers who are integrating the app and sending us the right analytics data and marketers who are creating sophisticated triggered and manual email campaigns.

The main goal of the front-end application is to give people super powers to send behavior-based emails; emails that are targeted and perfectly timed. All this power is dangerous so we also need to make it hard to make mistakes (like sending emails to the wrong people).

You'll be working in a modern 3 tiered architecture:

Front end in Ember.js deployed as a static site

API in Ruby to provide an easy, RESTful way for our app (and others) to access data.

Services in Go written for performance

You’ll be responsible for:

Shipping code to production!

Working with the CEO & CTO to figure out what we'll build next.

Understanding (and empathizing with) user needs and goals in the system

Having an opinion on UX and usability

Building and maintaining a test suite for code coverage of the front end UI.

Hiring additional engineers to work on the front-end app with you

Things we'd encourage:

Contributing back to open source when appropriate

Sharing your experience building customer.io at conferences and meetups
