Role summary

We are seeking a Senior Fullstack Engineer to join the Customer Context team, focusing on building and scaling foundational services, APIs, and data pipelines for the Postscript product. This remote role requires strong backend engineering skills, expertise in data-intensive systems, performance, and reliability, with a significant emphasis on AI-first development and the use of AI coding tools. The engineer will own systems, design and execute solutions across distributed environments, build scalable APIs, drive system decoupling, and contribute to integrating AI across the engineering organization. The position also involves collaborating cross-functionally, improving system resilience, and enhancing engineering workflows. A minimum of 6 years of experience in backend systems and APIs, proficiency with AI coding tools, and familiarity with languages like Python, Go, Rust, React, and TypeScript are expected.

Postscript is the AI messaging platform trusted by 20,000+ Shopify brands — including Brooklinen, Ruggable, True Classic, and Dr. Squatch.

With a mission to make SMS your number one revenue driving channel, we built the best-in-class SMS marketing platform and launched revenue-driving AI features not available on any other platform. And we're just getting started.

Backed by Greylock and Y Combinator, fully remote since 2018.

We are looking for a polyglot Senior Fullstack Engineer to join the Customer Context team. You’ll help build and scale the foundational services, APIs, and pipelines that power the Postscript product. This role blends strong backend engineering skills with a deep appreciation for data intensive systems, performance, and reliability. You’ll collaborate closely with other software engineers, data engineers, and product to help e-commerce marketers maximize their revenue with best-in-class targeting and context-driven AI.

This is a high-autonomy role for engineers who are energized by ambiguity, take genuine ownership of their work, and bring a strong point of view on how to build things well, without sacrificing speed or pragmatism. AI isn't a nice-to-have here — it's central to how we work. We expect our engineers to be active practitioners of AI-first development: fluent with the latest agentic coding tools, curious about what's emerging, and constantly pushing the boundary of what's possible with AI in their day-to-day craft. If you're the kind of engineer who's already experimenting with new models and tooling before anyone asks you to, you'll feel at home here.

As a senior engineer at Postscript, you’ll no longer be only writing code but orchestrating it.

This position is fully remote and can be based in the US or Canada.

What You'll Do

Take deep ownership of systems and product areas on your team, and become the go-to technical expert for what you own

Independently investigate, design, and execute solutions across distributed systems with a high degree of ambiguity

Architect, build, and maintain highly available, scalable REST APIs and backend services for internal and external use

Drive system decoupling, modularization, and technical debt reduction.. Improve long-term maintainability without blocking near-term delivery

Build agentically as your default: leveraging concurrent autonomous agent workflows, owning the output, and keeping a steady queue of aligned work moving

Stay at the forefront of emerging AI tooling and practices, bringing new techniques back to the team and helping raise the floor for how Postscript engineers work

Contribute to how we think about integrating AI into our systems and workflows. That means not just using AI tools, but helping shape where and how AI creates leverage across the engineering org

Collaborate cross-functionally with product, data, and go-to-market teams by communicating clearly and proactively in an async-first environment

Identify and eliminate single points of failure, improving system resilience and knowledge redundancy across your team

Improve how engineering gets done: bring better tools, fix workflow friction, build internal utilities when the leverage compounds

What We're Looking For

6+ years of experience building large-scale data-intensive backend systems and APIs

You are an active, daily user of AI coding tools and are using them to maximize your output — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, or equivalent — and can speak concretely to how they've changed your output and your workflow

Some or all of these languages: Python, Go, Rust, React, and TypeScript

You follow the AI tooling landscape closely: new model releases, emerging agentic workflows, and evolving best practices aren't things you catch up on eventually.

You think critically about AI output and you know where it accelerates you, where it introduces risk, and how to verify what it produces

You are able to context switch quickly across concurrent workstreams

Experience working on both 0-to-1 initiatives and complex existing systems, and knowing how to balance building new things with improving what's there

You have working knowledge of event-driven distributed systems, Kafka, and familiarity with distributed data processing technologies (Flink/Spark/etc)

Experience growing systems under production customer load, ideally from early days to the multi-terabyte stage

Experience building and designing high-scale systems AWS with a broad variety of database technologies (RDBMS, OLAP, NoSQL, etc.)

You know how to intelligently model relational data and design index strategies. You write performant SQL for transactional and analytical workloads

Experience with infrastructure as code (eg, Terraform). You are comfortable evaluating and applying your infra changes.

Familiarity building and observing applications on AWS & Kubernetes, ideally with Datadog, Signoz, or comparable observability tooling

Clear, direct communication. Cross-functional partners and async teams can count on you to surface information proactively

Strong instincts for technical tradeoffs informed by both engineering best practices and business priorities

What You'll Love About Us

Salary range of USD $175,000–$220,000 base plus significant equity (we do not have geo-based salaries)

High growth startup — plenty of room for you to directly impact the company and grow your career

Work from home (or wherever in US / Canada)

Fun — we're passionate and enjoy what we do

Competitive compensation and opportunity for equity

Flexible paid time off

Health, dental, vision insurance
