Product Engineer (Backend)

About Us Conversion is the agentic marketing automation platform for modern enterprises such as Plaid, ClickHouse, Webflow, and Productboard. 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. About the Role Hey there! James here 👋, co-founder and CTO at Conversion. Just wanted to share my thoughts on the perfect candidate we're looking to join our product team: Product focused: There are a lot of features that go into a marketing automation platform, and we're looking for engineers who can own entire products and scope out, design, and build them end to end. We believe the best PMs are engineers who understand the pain point, since they can best evaluate both the benefit and the cost of building a feature. Love building for / with customers: We're extremely close with our customers. Every customer gets their own Slack channel in our org, and we add every engineer to the channel to directly answer questions, fix bugs, and ship features. A key component of this role will be working with customers to understand pain points and then researching / designing the product features to solve them! Detail oriented: Conversion's product is a deeply integrated platform where each feature must mesh seamlessly with many existing features and support an ambitious vision. A detail oriented approach is required to keep our high bar for craft while delivering complex features in a scalable way. Intellectually curious: Conversion engineers are the kind of people who get excited about a weird edge case and end up sending five Slack messages about it before lunch. Concrete Responsibilities : Vision: Owning the vision and product features end to end Product context: Deeply understanding our customers and the enterprise marketing space Product engineering: Owning the end to end delivery of the product from customer need to final product shipped This role is in-person 5 days/week in San Francisco. You Might Be a Good Fit If You Have 3+ years of industry experience shipping product features Have a startup mindset and want early ownership in a fast-paced environment Have experience with our tech stack: Go for backend services You Might Be a Great Fit If You Have worked at a Series A to C startup that scaled quickly Care about owning the delivery of a feature end to end and continuing to ensure customers are happy even after delivery Have a strong track record of side projects, apps, or hackathons. Our engineers have built a live-streaming security system for their parents' new house, a database from scratch, a better Splitwise app, and hosted our Minecraft server, all while at Conversion Useful links Website: https://conversion.ai/ Careers: https://conversion.ai/careers Next Play article on our team: https://nextplayso.substack.com/p/how-a-big-pivot-helped-this-company Engineering blog: https://conversion.ai/blog
