About the role

We are looking for a developer productivity engineer to take responsibility for our monorepo and the “path to production” for over 50 engineers pushing over 75 commits a day with continuous deployment to production. This presents an exciting challenge where you can apply your expertise in helping teams ship fast and safe to meaningfully improve the productivity of our engineering team. This role also provides a unique opportunity to work on a multi-cloud and multi-region infrastructure that supports a global customer base. Our monorepo is primarily javascript/typescript with some Go. While the primary responsibility of this job is developer productivity, to fit in with the team and be productive in our codebase generally, strong computer science and development fundamentals will be required. As part of your onboarding, you’ll spend significant time writing and delivering features to gain empathy for the current dev flow.

We believe in enabling our engineers to do their best work for our customers by giving them extremely high levels of ownership and autonomy. This comes in different forms: you will own and deliver projects from start to finish, you will work directly with customers to solve their hardest scaling problems, and you will have a lot of influence over what we work on as a team and company.

Some of the problems we’ll be working on include:

Own the build: You’ll be the single threaded owner for the build/test/deploy of our software and how each team fits into it
Monorepo productivity: Detangle our build/test/deploy patterns so teams can move fast and not block each other. Investigate/implement a tool like turbo repo to speed builds and separate concerns
Drive excellence in testing: We need to improve our top-down and team-level views into test coverage + support an ever growing matrix of data sources, data destinations, and enrichment patterns. An excellent engineer in this role will be able to “hold up a mirror” to our dev teams, helping each team understand where they have gaps

Hightouch’s mission is to empower everyone to take action on their data. Hundreds of companies, including Autotrader, Calendly, Cars.com, Monday.com, and PetSmart, trust Hightouch to power their growth.

We pioneered the Composable Customer Data Platform (CDP), which lets companies use their own data warehouse to collect, prepare, and activate customer data for marketing personalization and business operations. Our new AI Decisioning platform goes a step further, allowing marketers to set goals and guardrails that AI agents can then use to personalize 1:1 customer interactions. Traditionally, only technical teams had the skills to access and use customer data. With Hightouch, every business user can deliver personalized customer experiences, optimize performance marketing, and move faster by leveraging data and AI across their organization.

Our team focuses on making a meaningful impact for our customers. We approach challenges with a first-principles mindset, move quickly and efficiently, and treat each other with compassion and kindness. We look for team members who are strong communicators, have a growth mindset, and are motivated and persistent in achieving our goals.

What else? We’re based in San Francisco but have team members all over the world. Our Series C put us at a $1.2B valuation, and we are backed by leading investors such as Sapphire Ventures, Amplify Partners, ICONIQ Growth, Bain Capital Ventures, Y-Combinator, and Afore Capital.
