The Role

 

The Sync team at Outreach orchestrates the data and data workflows that drive the Outreach platform. Their work drives revenue efficiency for our customers and innovates in the management and integration of data. Our service performs hundreds of millions of inbound and outbound sync operations per day under an SLA that demands super high reliability and responsiveness. Engineers on the team build the foundations that enable admin users to map and sync data bidirectionally between Outreach and an ever-growing set of external systems. 

 

The Sync team is responsible for the design and implementation of a highly distributed and scalable system that manages huge volumes of data and events. They look to their customers for guidance on what's useful and important and drive toward implementing it. They can iterate quickly given feedback from customers, program leads, and support.

 

Our data integration features let users select which data is communicated between those systems, how it is placed, and how often it is moved. Integration features are implemented with synchronization jobs; monitoring those jobs is key to keeping the data flowing, so streamlining the process and making its results visible and diagnosable is paramount. 

 

As we embark on the next-generation of our sync engine that will power the next 10x growth of the Outreach platform, we’re looking for Software Engineers who can jump in, learn fast and assist in building out this new sync system. This is an opportunity to have a big impact on one of the most important core systems at Outreach.
