Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Customer.io as an employer.

What you need

  • 7+ years of experience building scalable, distributed systems in Go (or similar statically typed languages)
  • Comfort working in cloud-native environments (AWS, GCP)
  • Familiarity with relational databases (MySQL) and understanding of performance tradeoffs
  • Experience with observability tooling and operating production systems
  • A bias for action over perfection, and pride in owning technical decisions

What you get

  • Starting salary for this role is $150,000 - $200,000 USD depending on experience
  • 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and supplemental insurance premiums for you and your family
  • 16 weeks paid parental leave
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Stipends for remote work and wellness
  • Professional development budget

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of the tech stack beyond Go and MySQL, which may indicate a focus on legacy systems
  • On-call rotation may imply additional stress or time commitment
  • The role emphasizes ownership and fast-paced decision-making, which may not suit everyone
