💳 About the Billing/Growth Team

The CRM Tribe is composed of 3 teams

  • Billing/Growth team and Auth scope: We enable all Gorgias products and the full path from account creation, account provisioning, and agent creation to the moment customers pay for their account and eventually upgrade

  • DevRel and Object team: By owning the API curator role and the main APIs, the team can connect internal and external developers’ needs and build a coherent platform. Thanks to its interaction with partners, it also has all the insights needed to build a strong developer ecosystem, owning this domain end to end.

  • Scale-up goals: Mission-driven aspect of the team with rotating engineers involved to unlock the main bottlenecks and iterate faster on company-wide initiatives.

You will be part of the Growth team as backend engineer.

🚀 The growth team is in charge of:

  • Design, implement, and scale event-driven solutions for the company's main models allowing usage-based pricing, reactive event notifications, and triggers

  • Develop robust and scalable flows to support user and customer journeys on the platform (e.g: Shopper buying timelines, merchant should be billed exactly once for the right amount)

  • Put in place monitors, metrics, and end-to-end tests to guarantee API and flow SLOs are up to Gorgias’ standards

  • Improve and enhance the customer journey from landing on the signup page, until renewing their contract every year, taking into account Gorgias’ customers specificities, their business, and their needs as they grow and navigate across our prices

  • Always anticipate, detect, and block fraud at all levels, whether it is by blocking account creation, plan selection, or access to specific features. This team acts as a watchdog against always-evolving patterns and new fraud techniques.

What You’ll Do

  • Collaborate with a team of senior ICs on developing and grooming core objects and models re-used across the engineering team

  • Collaborate with the data team to build pipelines and flows serving business use cases such as :

    • Design APIs and models in collaboration with senior ICs to enable more event-driven features putting always focus on the quality of the data and the consistency of actions taken

    • Billing recurring on overage charges

    • Reactive flow (customer purchase, plan change, trigger subscription…)

  • Define a monitoring strategy to prevent and fight fraud, collaborating with a security team when required

Who You Are

  • 5+ years experience in back-end

  • 2+ years experience in frontend before or in parallel with the back-end experience

  • Significant experience with event-driven systems and eventual consistency patterns

  • Experience with high-traffic applications and continuous development/deployment

  • You care about working on applications that are putting the customer's needs first and you thrive in a fast-paced and distributed environment. You are comfortable with working with a product team, providing feedback and suggesting new ideas
