Senior Software Engineer, Platform
Own the architecture and delivery of our CRM and data-driven prospecting platform in a zero-to-one environment. You’ll turn fuzzy problems into systems, standards, and processes that help BD, M&A, and portfolio teams move faster. This is an AI-first orchestration role: connect people, data, and systems to automate high-impact workflows and surface the right insight at the right moment.
Key Responsibilities
Build the source of truth
Design a unified “system of record + insight” that powers right-time outreach to top prospects
Model entities (accounts, people, firms, signals) with identity resolution and data quality guardrails
Ship self-serve reporting and dashboards with clear SLAs and definitions
Orchestrate AI-first workflows
Automate multi-step GTM and BD processes across CRM, email, LinkedIn, and messaging
Stand up LLM-powered agents for research, summarization, due-diligence prep, and follow-ups
Implement RAG pipelines so teams see the right docs, notes, and signals at the right time
Tune prompts, guardrails, and evaluation harnesses for accuracy, tone, and safety
Integrate data & systems
Build and maintain two-way integrations between Salesforce and external data providers
Connect APIs, webhooks, and event streams to keep data enriched, clean, and continuously updated
Establish pragmatic privacy, reliability, and change-management practices
Prototype fast, scale what works
Partner with BD and M&A leaders to identify high-friction workflows and measurable outcomes
Deliver MVP automations quickly, instrument impact, and productionize winning pilots
Define standards (runbooks, schemas, contracts, SLAs) that scale across the portfolio
Tech Stack
Python, TypeScript (Node.js, React, Next.js), TailwindCSS, Postgres (Supabase), n8n, Prefect, Modal, Redis
What We’re Looking For
8+ years in software engineering with meaningful ownership of CRM-centric platforms and/or revenue/ops systems; you thrive in ambiguity and create process where none exists
Strong product sense for BD/M&A workflows; translate qualitative feedback into quantitative goals and SLAs that stick
Deep integration experience (APIs, webhooks, auth), plus identity resolution and data governance fundamentals
Hands-on with AI integration: calling LLMs, building RAG pipelines, prompt design, evaluation, and guardrails
Clear, concise communication; you incorporate feedback from technical and non-technical partners into roadmaps that land on time
Bonus: experience automating diligence (market maps, call notes, deal rooms), multi-channel orchestration (email/LinkedIn/Slack), and building portfolio-wide reusable components
