Senior Software Engineer - Backend Platform

Descrição da empresa

We're on a mission to change how companies generate pipeline - meet the PipelineAI!
Here at Qualified, we’re looking to disrupt the modern pipeline generation process by giving marketing and sales leaders a newer, faster way to grow pipeline. Why? Because the old B2B pipeline generation process is broken. Every company drives traffic to one place: their corporate website. But until now, companies have had no way of knowing who’s on their site, and no way of meeting with their best buyers, instantly. Qualified facilitates instant sales conversations - one click to chat, voice, and video - to unlock an entirely new pipeline generation channel.

Atividades e Responsabilidades

Engineering at Qualified
Our lean engineering team is structured as small, flexible groups that are split into two larger areas of ownership: Product and Platform. We believe in the power of cross-team experience, and engineers have opportunities to switch teams so they can work on different challenges and broaden their skills. Our work is organized in two-week cycles, during which engineers are entrusted with full ownership of their work, from the initial idea to its market launch. Engineers own the end-to-end delivery and success of the system and products – from coding and testing to deployment, monitoring, and customer rollout – while upholding high standards of engineering and code-quality. Our main goal is to develop a product capable of handling tasks in real time, requiring straightforward, effective solutions.
