Our success is reliant on building teams that include people from different backgrounds and experiences who can elevate assumptions and ideas with fresh perspectives. We're dedicated to hiring the whole human, not just a resume. To that end, we look for a diverse pool of applicants-including those from historically marginalized groups. We would like to invite you to apply even if you don't think you meet all of the requirements listed below. We don't want a few lines in a job description to get between us and the opportunity to meet you.


The Role


The Organization, Licenses & Instances Team at Outreach owns some of the core services components that drive the Outreach product itself. Our main clients are the rest of the engineering organization as well as Outreach external customers. We have spent the last year investing heavily on stabilizing the application, now we are looking for a seasoned senior engineer to help us work on evolving our existing architecture in order to scale as we continue to rapidly grow.


We’re looking for someone who has an interest in system architecture, but a passion for getting things done. You’re smart enough to work at top companies, but you’re picky about finding the right role (this is more than just a job, right?). You’re experienced, but you also like to learn new things. You want to work with smart people and have fun building something great. You have an analytical mind and are able to prioritize well and communicate clearly. You have a consistent track record of delivery and excellent software engineering skills. You must be able to work across multiple facets of the project and have the ability to create innovative solutions


About the Team


The Organization, Licenses & Instances Team is composed of senior engineers with diverse skills and backgrounds. Our unifying attribute is our desire to work together to find creative, scalable solutions to the problems we run into.


Our vision is to be enablers for the application and engineering organization to reliably and dynamically scale the business.


Our mission is to support the engineering function and the core application of Outreach by developing core services that are application assets, by quickly and efficiently develop solutions to address the most pressing needs, by adding instrumentation plumbing to be able to closely track and measure our operations, by progressively enabling the organization to migrate to a service-oriented architecture: getting rid of single points of failure, scoping and clearly defining interfaces inside the application for the services that we own, creating guidelines, best practices and tooling for new application services and around core architectural strategies such as but not limited to instrumentation, logging, throttling, micro-services, connection handling.


As an example, we have a service that performs more than 100 million inbound and outbound sync operations per day under an SLA that demands less than two minutes latency.
