### About Assembly
Assembly is building the next-generation post-sales platform for B2B companies. Customer Success and post-sales teams rely on Assembly to unify data from dozens of tools, proactively surface risks and opportunities, and power agentic workflows that drive retention and expansion.
With Assembly, companies can finally move beyond reactive account management—our AI-powered platform helps CSMs catch signals before they become churn, automates onboarding milestones, and turns scattered systems into a single source of truth.
We’re backed by Y Combinator and leading investors, and already powering post-sales operations for fast-growing companies across fintech, SaaS, and enterprise software. Our team is small but ambitious—join us to help define the future of customer success infrastructure.
### About the Role
As a **Senior Full Stack Engineer** at Assembly, you’ll be shipping products from 0 → 1 and owning them in production. We’re a customer-obsessed team, so you won’t just write code—you’ll talk to customers, gather feedback, and iterate quickly.
This isn’t a narrow role: you’ll often be the **sole architect, designer, and engineer** on systems across our stack. From backend data pipelines to customer-facing interfaces, you’ll own the full lifecycle—shipping fast and keeping quality high.
### What You’ll Do
* Ship features and products end-to-end, from design → implementation → release → maintenance
* Talk directly with customers, incorporating their feedback into the product
* Design and build distributed systems that scale with millions of data events
* Collaborate with founders and a global team, making product and technical decisions daily
* Continuously improve what you ship: better performance, cleaner UX, tighter integrations
### Technical Must-Haves
* High-level proficiency in **Go, TypeScript, Python, Java, or C/C++**
* Strong experience **designing and working on distributed systems**
* Ability to translate product requirements into production-ready code independently
### Brownie Points (Not Required, but Encouraged)
* Experience or proficiency with **Rust**
* Frontend experience with **React, Next.js, or similar frameworks**
* Previous work with large-scale data ingestion, AI agents, or workflow automation
### What a Good Fit Looks Like
* You enjoy solving open-ended, challenging problems
* You value **good design and UX** (you have an eye for details)
* You thrive with **owning end-to-end product development**
* You can explain complex technical ideas simply
* You’re extremely **proactive**—always looking for the next improvement
### What We Care About
* **Customer Obsession**: Make customers love what we build, whatever it takes
* **Beautiful Design**: Software should be elegant—it’s in the details
* **Accountability**: Own things end-to-end, admit mistakes, and trust each other fully
* **High Bar**: We expect excellence—when we achieve something, we raise the bar again
* **Open-Mindedness**: We debate, disagree, and land on the best decision as a team
### Fun Facts
* Our team has experience from companies like **Apple, Netflix, Convoy, and more**
* We’re backed by **Village Global, Y Combinator, the founder of Guitar Hero, and execs from Intuit & Anyscale**
### Technology
Our stack is:
* **Backend:** Go, Node.js, TypeScript
* **Frontend:** React, TailwindCSS, shadcn/ui, Lexical
* **Database:** PostgreSQL (Supabase + AWS RDS)
* **Infra:** AWS ECS, S3, River Queue, Redis
We solve interesting problems around:
* Large-scale CRM & usage data ingestion
* AI-powered health scoring and workflow orchestration
* Two-way sync with tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, Gmail, Slack, Google Sheets, and Calendar
* Building collaborative inboxes, onboarding checklists, and analytics dashboards
