We’re hiring a product-focused software engineer with deep backend expertise and strong attention to detail. As a Senior Backend Engineer, you’ll build the next generation of Mixmax features, scale distributed systems to handle millions of events, and drive quality across a large codebase, all as part of a globally distributed team.

Teams typology

Those teams have dedicated Engineering Managers, Product Managers, Designers and Frontend/Backend Engineers.

There are also enablement teams helping to achieve high performing standards as Platform, UX, QA or Data.

We are hiring a Senior Backend Engineer with product/SaaS company experience for the Automation team:

Team Automation  is a cross-functional product team behind Sequences - a core Mixmax feature most customers use to automate their communication with existing and prospective clients.
