Company mission
To create a support operations platform that helps companies maintain exceptional customer experiences, no matter what lies ahead.
Role
Who you are
- We work in project-based units of work. We’re looking for a Software Engineer with senior level experience to take ownership over the technical direction of a project, provide a team with the technical leadership and mentorship, and take on key project initiatives
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering as an individual contributor in full-stack environment
- Experience with translatable languages: Front-end experience with Javascript, Typescript and frameworks such as React or Angular and back-end engineering experience in statically typed languages like Go, Java, or Rust
- You’re excited about working on all parts of the stack: You’re comfortable hopping between Typescript/React in the frontend and Go in the backend, and maybe even our infrastructure in AWS when you’re feeling adventurous
- Product sense: You have consistently worked with product and design team to take ambiguous problems and turn them into technical stories
- Technical leadership: You have the ability to make well thought through technical trade-offs and have led code reviews or design conversations in the past
- You have experience leading the team of engineers as a technical lead or a senior team member responsible for the technical direction of the project
- Mentorship: You’ve helped mentor and coach other engineers who have then shown concerted, dedicated improvement in their abilities
What the job involves
- Our core scheduling tool: Building and enhancing a familiar, calendar-like interface that enables managers to efficiently schedule their agents, offering the most feature-rich page at Assembled for handling complex scheduling needs
- Empowering support agents: Providing schedule pages for viewing assignments, requesting changes, time off, or swaps, and managing overtime, ensuring transparency and flexibility for everyone on the team
- Predicting contact volume: Developing forecasting interfaces, data pipelines, and inference servers to predict support contact volume and determine the optimal number of support agents required for specific days and times
- Scheduling 1000s of support agents: Designing and implementing interfaces to collect and store team preferences and customer business constraints (e.g., labor laws), enabling the creation of optimal schedules for teams of thousands of support agents based on these forecasts and constraints (check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse_scheduling_problem)
- You’ll lead the technical architecture and implementation of new projects and features. You’ll help scope these projects and advise the design, product management, and leadership teams on the technical details of these projects
- You’ll provide technical mentorship to the rest of the engineering team and advise on topics such as systems design, engineering best practices, and managing technical debt
- You’ll participate in design and code reviews and be a go-to person to unblock technical challenges for your team
- You’ll serve as the subject matter expert for your team or project by providing guidance to internal partners and customers
Our take
Assembled's platform helps companies manage and scale their customer support services. Customer service management is just one of the many areas that are being overhauled by digital transformation. Assembled helps streamline cumbersome and error-prone customer support processes - such as planning support rosters, forecasting demand, and evaluating team performance.
Assembled already counts companies like Zoom, GoFundMe and Stripe on its customer books, and finds huge opportunity in key industries like eCommerce and food deliveries that have been seeing massive digital overhauls. Having received significant investment, the company seems set on continued growth, with funds cited to support product development as well as help launch its CX Scholars initiative, that will commit a percentage of revenue to continuing education for support workers.

Company values
- Act like a support agent - It's a mentality and an operating principle. It means meeting every challenge with rigor, empathy, and efficiency. Doing it because you care. Listening first, solutioning next.
- Get on the plane - We are biased towards action, and don’t wait to pitch in, help out, or to go the extra mile, every time. Sometimes, you just need to get on the plane — literally and figuratively.
- Make feedback a gift - The beauty of Assembled is rooted in the interplay of two traits — our diversity of perspectives and backgrounds and our willingness to give and receive feedback.
