About the Role

Overview

Weโ€™re building the all-in-one B2B post-sales support platform powered by conversational data and layered with intelligence to help our customers run their operations in real-time.

Weโ€™re backed by a16z, BCV, General Catalyst, Y Combinator.

Currently more than 1000 companies including Linear, Cognition (makers of Devin), Modal Labs, and Incident.io run their support and customer success workflows with Pylon. You'll also find us on the Enterprise Tech 30 List.

The Role

We're looking for a strong senior engineer who's at a career crossroads; ready to take on more leadership while staying deeply technical. You'll start as a senior IC contributor for 3-6 months, then transition into leading a small team while continuing to write code and ship features.

This is the ideal role if you've been thinking about management but want to try it in a supportive environment where you can be coached and grow into the role. If it works, great - you'll have a clear path to Engineering Manager. If not, that's okay too - you'll still be valued as a senior IC.

What you'll do:

You might be a fit if...

Your team: Join senior engineers from Samsara, Affinity, Airbnb, and more
