Company mission
To enable all teams to access customer data in the data warehouse and transform their data warehouses into enterprise growth engines.
Role
Who you are
- You are an experienced software engineer (8+ years coding professionally) who blends deep architectural thinking with hands-on coding
- You’ve built and rebuilt complex systems at scale, and your opinions on languages, systems, and tools come from practical experience, not theory
- You are equally comfortable designing the blueprint for a system as you are rolling up your sleeves to implement it
- You know when to lean on convention and when to chart a new path
- You can rethink and re- implement core systems in ways that make migration and adoption smoother, not harder. In short: you’re an exemplar architect who codes, or an exemplar coder who architects
- You thrive in high- stakes environments where systems must evolve while still running. You understand that the engines can’t stop just because they’re being replaced
- You can operate in shadow mode, designing and implementing new solutions that fit into place without disruption
- You are a technical leader, not just by title, but by the way others look to you for direction
- You sharpen the engineers around you with timely feedback, thoughtful architectural guidance, and a clear decision- making framework. You take pride in the success of your teammates as much as your own. You balance time in the coding pocket with setting vision for how complex systems interlock and scale
- You are curious about damn near everything. Time not spent learning feels wasted
- You’ve architected distributed systems at scale, balancing pragmatism with long- term vision. You’ve owned applications end- to- end and handled infrastructure concerns, including infrastructure- as- a- service. You’ve deployed microservices on AWS or GCP

- Realtime Support: Designing and evolving our architecture for real-time capabilities

Our take
GrowthLoop’s no-code data interface allows enterprises to unlock first-party customer data stored in their own warehouses and quickly create target customer segments for more impactful marketing, advertising, and sales.
One of the major challenges for companies these days is to effectively activate the data they gather. Thus, a solution like GrowthLoop’s has the potential to turn data warehouses into growth engines without having to use external Customer Data Platforms.
The company, which until 2022 was built without any capital investment, has an impressive client list which includes Google Cloud, Indeed, NASCAR and the Boston Red Sox. Funds raised in 2022 allowed GrowthLoop to expand its services and invest in new features for the platform - such as a first-of-its-kind AI audience builder, a GenAI Marketing solution in partnership with Google Cloud and Typeface and a cross-channel journey builder for the data cloud.
