About the role

James here 👋, co-founder and CTO at Conversion.
Just wanted to share my thoughts on the perfect candidate we're looking to join our engineering team.
Here's what we're looking for in an infrastructure engineer to join our core team:

As a startup, our goal is to grow and build an amazing product that delivers value, not to needlessly upgrade our tech stack for the sake of it.

Have 3+ years of experience building cloud infrastructure, dev tooling, and platform systems at fast-growing companies
Have experience with our tech stack:

Go for backend services
Kafka for large-scale data streaming
Temporal for durable job execution
PostgreSQL and ClickHouse as our databases
GCP for cloud hosting
Have built internal developer tools or platforms that meaningfully changed how a team shipped
Have worked at a Series A to C startup that scaled quickly

Your job is to strike the line between the cost of infrastructure changes and the potential benefits.

Conversion is the AI-native marketing automation platform for modern software companies. Our platform lets growth teams run their entire go-to-market motion in one place, from acquisition through retention, with AI agents doing the work that legacy tools like Marketo, HubSpot, and Pardot can't.
We've raised $28M+ from Abstract Ventures, True Ventures, and HOF Capital. The team is based in San Francisco and includes engineers, designers, and operators from Airbnb, Palantir, Pinterest, IMC, Shopify, LinkedIn, and Microsoft.
