About Us

Conversion is building the agentic marketing automation platform. Most marketing teams today are stuck stitching together outdated software, enrichment tools, and disconnected workflows. Funnels are broken. Messaging is misaligned. Teams are flying blind.

We're fixing that. Conversion gives marketing and growth teams AI agents that do the work: building campaigns, optimizing sends, scoring leads, and running your go-to-market on autopilot. From acquisition to activation to retention, it's all managed in a single platform.

We’ve raised over $28 million from top firms such as Abstract Ventures, True Ventures, and HOF Capital and powering go-to-market for 4000+ customers.

We’re a lean, high-performing team in San Francisco. If you’re excited about building a generational company and doing your best work alongside world-class teammates; we’d love to meet you.

About the Role

Hey there! James here 👋, co-founder and CTO at Conversion. Just wanted to share my thoughts on the perfect candidate we're looking for to join our engineering team.

First off, I want to stress the technical difficulty and scale of what we're building here at Conversion. The reason marketing automation platforms haven't seen a new player in decades is because building one is hard. Our platform needs to handle terabytes of data syncs per customer with the utmost reliability, coordinate complex workflows that automate mission critical "go-to-market" processes, handle form submissions that directly generate revenue for customers, and serve high delivering emails to millions of our customer's recipients.

With that being said, here's what we're looking for in a infrastructure software engineer to join our core team:

• Engineer multiplier: You know how in Candy Crush you can hit a 2x multiplier? We believe it's the same analogy for platform engineering: your customers are our product engineers, and the goal is to unlock and empower them to build features to serve our customers best.

• Intellectually curious: Conversion engineers are group of bright-eyed and constantly curious individuals, who love debating database designs (or if we'd win in a fight against an ostrich) at lunchtime.

• Pragmatic optimizer: Over optimizing is a real thing. As a startup, our goal is to grow and build an amazing product that delivers value, not to needlessly upgrade our tech stack for the sake of doing so. Your job is to strike the fine line between the cost of implementing infrastructural changes vs. the potential benefits. Everything's a tradeoff, we want to take the worthwhile ones.

This role is in-person 5 days/week in San Francisco.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You

• Have several years of experience building out cloud infrastructure, dev-ops, and platform features at other fast growing companies

• Have experience with our tech stack:

  • Go is our backend language

  • Kafka for large scale data streaming

  • Temporal for durable job execution

  • PostgreSQL and ClickHouse as our databases

  • GCP for cloud hosting

You Might Be a Great Fit If You

• Are fascinated by developer tooling

• Have a great track record of side projects, apps, hackathons. Our engineers have built a live streaming security system for their parent's new house, a database from scratch, a better "Splitwise" app, and hosted our Minecraft server, all while at Conversion!
