We use Customer Generation to drive pipeline, SQLs, and scale brands across SaaS and B2B industries. We move fast, think boldly, and hire people who challenge the status quo to spark demand for bold, innovative brands.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement services, APIs, and integrations that power internal tools and client-facing portals
• Translate business problems into technical solutions, slice work for incremental value, and manage risk with feature flags and staged rollouts
• Ensure marketing data correctness with thoughtful handling of boundaries and filters
• Establish access controls and safe patterns for internal tooling (RBAC, least-privilege access)
• Ship, support, and iterate: fix bugs, improve performance, and reduce cost without sacrificing UX
• Add telemetry, alerts, and clear runbooks to make issues easy to detect, diagnose, and resolve
• Document designs and trade-offs with concise specs / RFCs

What You’ll Bring

• Experience: 3+ years of professional software development with production ownership (mid–senior range)
• Languages: Strong in JavaScript / TypeScript and Python; you write clean, tested, and review-friendly code
• APIs & Integrations: REST / GraphQL, OAuth2 / OIDC / JWT, pagination, rate limits, idempotency, and resilient contracts
• Data & SQL: Confident querying and shaping data for analytics and reporting; you validate results and avoid common pitfalls
• Cloud Delivery: Experience shipping services on managed compute (serverless or containers) with CI / CD and observability; GCP is a plus
• Low- / No-Code Enablement: Familiarity with Retool, Appsmith, Power Apps, or automation tools to empower non-engineers safely
• AI-Forward Mindset: Comfortable using tools like Copilot or Cursor to accelerate delivery and integrating LLM APIs where it makes sense
• Strong Communicator and Ownership: Ability to handle a fast-paced environment with imperfect information and drive outcomes

Additional Things That Will Impress Us

• Marketing data literacy: Familiarity with CRM (Salesforce / HubSpot), web analytics (GA4), paid media APIs, and attribution basics
• Security & compliance: Least-privilege IAM, secrets management, PII handling, and familiarity with audit frameworks (SOC 2 / ISO 27001) in product engineering contexts
• AI integrations: Consuming Vertex AI endpoints or vendor LLM APIs; prompt design / validation and safe fallbacks
• Frontend fundamentals: React / TypeScript basics, design-system usage, accessibility (WCAG), and performance profiling for portal components
• Experimentation & analytics: Feature flags, A / B testing exposure, and KPI definition habits that support decision-making
