Additional details
- HockeyStack is building the agent infrastructure for enterprise revenue.
- We spent five years building the only data architecture that preserves causality across the full revenue stack — every interaction, every signal, in sequence.
- The result is a platform that can extract the revenue blueprint from a company's data, encode it into repeatable automations, and execute it across sales, marketing, and customer success — consistently, at scale.
- We are building the operating layer that replaces the human bottleneck in enterprise revenue organizations.
- This is a category being defined right now, and we intend to own it.
- Since launching late 2023, we have grown to 8-figures in ARR, process over 60 TB of revenue data monthly, and we are working with some of the largest B2B companies in the world like Microsoft, Harvey, New Relic, Collibra, etc. 🚀 YOUR MISSION As the Backend Tech Lead on the Core Applications team, your mission is to architect and scale our core API infrastructure that powers mission-critical workflows for Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success teams.
- This is a defining opportunity for an engineer who wants to own massive data and API infrastructure, set a high bar for engineering excellence, and ship fast in a high-urgency environment.
- - Tackle complex problems like versioning, rate-limiting, auth, query complexity, and cache invalidation across a fast-evolving product surface.
- - Mentor engineers and set the technical direction for the team.
- - Startup mindset – you move fast, figure things out, and don’t wait to be told what to do.
