Trusted by more than 18,000 Shopify and Shopify Plus stores—like Brooklinen, Ruggable, True Classic and Dr. Squatch—Postscript gives ecommerce brands the tools they need to run a world-class SMS marketing program.

We're on a mission to make SMS the number-one revenue channel for ecommerce merchants by delivering an easy-to-use platform where they can grow their subscriber list, develop and test their messaging strategy, deliver excellent customer service, and drive sales and loyalty—all in one place. We believe SMS is the most important marketing and sales channel of the decade, and that vision drives everything we do.

Postscript was founded in 2018 as a 100% remote organization. With more than 250 employees (and counting!), we're backed by Greylock, Y Combinator, and other top investors.

As Engineering Manager for the Customer Data Platform team at Postscript, you will partner with the team's Principal Engineer & Architect to manage a team of skilled product and data engineers building our CDP from the ground up as part of Postscript's transformation into an agentic-first company.

Engineering Managers are directly responsible for day-to-day people management of their direct reports. They focus on leadership, people management, and delivery/execution duties. Our backend, primarily Python within an AWS architecture, is evolving to meet scalability and complexity demands.

They have a passion for data infrastructure, product engineering, and delivering great work that drives business value. The best candidates possess the ability to perform the duties of a technical contributor, project manager, and people manager on any given day and know when and how to switch between those hats as needed to achieve success for their team(s) and the overall company.
