Primer | Senior Back End Engineer | REMOTE | <a href="
Growth marketing has boomed in recent years and every B2B company needs a tailored, data-driven approach to their market in order to win business. Primer is enabling our B2B customers to accomplish this much faster without having to engineer an expensive system.
We've bootstrapped ourselves to supporting a team of four and are quietly finding our way into the growth marketing playbooks of top B2B companies in Silicon Valley. We're experienced founders that have built successful companies and are looking to create a business aimed at solving hard problems for our customers, generating real, sustainable revenue, and providing a supporting environment for our team (most of the team has young kids and we support a flexible schedule).
Our stack is React/Node, but we're positioning ourselves to invest in scaling to meet the demands of our data-intensive, distributed workflows. We're looking for an experienced engineer to help us architect a solution for the future.  We're primarily focused on using Elixir/Go, but are still open to other tech that sets us up to scale (e.g. Clojure, Kotlin, Haskell, Rust).
The role we're currently looking to fill is a Senior Back End Engineer:
* 6+ years of experience
* Experience and knowledge of best practices for building out fault tolerant, distributed systems
* Knows the ins and outs of writing good APIs and how to avoid the pitfalls of integrating with someone else's
* Knows of the difference between big data and realtime data and which tools/approaches to bring to each
* Understands best practices for setting up alerts and monitoring and how to design a system that ultimately doesn't require it
* Can wear a Dev Ops hat and proficiently navigate AWS
* Adaptable / good communication skills
This would be the first, full-time engineering hire at a well-funded, growing company with a seasoned team.  As such we can offer with significant equity position, competitive salary, as well as firsthand learning opportunity on how to build a successful startup.
