About Kustomer

Kustomer is the industry leading conversational CRM platform perfecting every customer experience. Built with intelligent tools such as AI and Automation, no code-configuration and a connected data platform that unifies data from multiple sources through a single timeline, Kustomer empowers businesses to operate with greater efficiency and deliver more personalized service to customers across any channel, making every interaction more meaningful and memorable. Today, Kustomer is the core platform for some of the leading customer service brands like Sweetgreen, Starz, Vuori, Resy and Cotopaxi.

Kustomer was founded in 2015 by serial entrepreneurs Brad Birnbaum and Jeremy Suriel and has raised over $230M in funding backed by leading VCs. Meta announced its intention to acquire Kustomer in 2020 and completed the transaction in 2022. Kustomer joined Meta’s Business Messaging Group to transform the way people and businesses communicate through modern messaging channels.

In 2023, Kustomer spun out from Meta as a standalone company backed by original partners, Battery, Redpoint and Boldstart Ventures, who have invested $60M. In 2025, Kustomer announced a $30M Series B led by Norwest, with continued support from Battery, Redpoint, and boldstart. This milestone reflects strong conviction in our vision and fuels our next chapter of growth: expanding our AI-native platform, accelerating product innovation, and scaling our exceptional team.

Our Krew is made up of passionate and collaborative people who really care about what they do and the people they help. We look for people who are passionate about enhancing the customer service experience for everyone involved, as it's the core of what we do. We're growing our business with no plans of slowing down. We actively seek individuals who want to learn and be challenged every day. We have also transitioned to a remote friendly company, with Krew members located throughout the U.S. and U.K. coming together for Kamp Kustomer each year.

About the Role

Kustomer is hiring a Full Stack Software Engineer to join our Engineering team. In this role, you'll work as part of a pod: a 3–5 person team that picks up a high-priority initiative, ramps quickly, ships end-to-end, and moves on to the next one. You'll be a capable, adaptable engineer who can walk into any part of the codebase, understand it, and make it better. You'll ship new capabilities, improve performance, and contribute to the evolution of our architecture using technologies like Node.js, React, Golang, and AWS, collaborating closely with your pod leader and teammates across engineering, product, and design.

AI is a core part of how we build. You'll use AI tools daily to move faster and raise the bar on what you ship. You'll also help build AI-powered product capabilities that meaningfully improve the customer experience.

We're looking for engineers with strong technical judgment, a high bar for craft, and real curiosity about how systems, product, and AI intersect. You take initiative, thrive in ambiguous problem spaces, and own your work end-to-end, from design through production. Not because someone's tracking it, but because you genuinely care about what you're building. If you want your work to directly shape the product and the team around you, we'd love to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Ship full-stack features end-to-end as a member of a pod, owning scope from problem definition through production, using technologies like Node.js, React, Golang, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, and AWS
• Develop APIs and integrate with external services and databases, ensuring data integrity and security
• Build front-end interfaces with a focus on user experience, responsiveness, and accessibility
• Design and build AI-powered features that improve the user experience and platform efficiency
• Partner with PMs, engineers, and your Pod Lead to shape requirements, design, UX, and scope tradeoffs, communicating progress proactively along the way
• Optimize application performance through caching, efficient algorithms, and database indexing
• Write thorough unit and integration tests to ensure quality and reliability
• Conduct code reviews, provide constructive feedback, and mentor junior engineers to uphold a high quality bar
• Share production support responsibility on a rotating basis, including on-call and bug triage, distributed equitably across the team
• Stay current with emerging AI tools, full-stack technologies, and industry trends - and actively propose and champion those that improve team velocity, quality, and development practices
• Ramp quickly on unfamiliar parts of the codebase aided by AI tooling, consistent code hygiene, and a deep engineering foundation

Your qualifications

• 7+ years of progressive software development experience and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
• You're comfortable working across frontend and backend. You may have a stronger side, and that's fine. What matters is that you can follow the work wherever it goes and aren't blocked by an unfamiliar layer.
• You understand how systems work at depth and have experience with cloud platforms like AWS or similar. Data structures, algorithms, concurrency, distributed systems, API design, database internals; these are tools, not trivia.
• You don't need to be the domain expert before contributing. You read READMEs, trace execution, ask sharp questions, and start adding value fast.
• You own the outcome, not just the ticket. You raise risks early, communicate progress proactively, and care about what ships, not just what you committed.
• You’re able to diagnose and debug complex issues, optimize application performance, and identify areas for improvement.
• You have hands-on experience with modern AI developer tools, such as Cursor or Claude Code, and have built a real working practice around...
