Engineering Manager

The opportunity

Mixmax is the #1 product helping Revenue teams to become automatically proactive by eliminating busywork for a flawless customer experience.

We've just hit $12 million in annual revenue and we’re profitable! We just raised more money and are investing more to accelerate growth. We’re looking for great people to help us ship high-quality features to meet the needs of bigger customers. 

About Engineering

We can find two areas, EPD and Core teams. The EPD teams are cross-functional (Engineering + Product + Design) and work closely with Product to enhance our customer experience by following a product roadmap.

The Core teams manage the product platform i.e. AWS infrastructure, shared product services and Mixmax’s development framework following a technical roadmap.

Teams must collaborate (besides Product) with all departments such as Customer Success, Sales or Marketing to:

• Understand market and customer needs
• Provide instruments and indicators to measure the impact of changes
• Identify areas for improvement: functional, capabilities, security, scalability, etc.

Our product is hosted on AWS, following a micro-services architecture pattern with noSQL databases where NodeJS is our primary programming language.
