A highly effective collaborator, you work well with your team and your partners in product and design towards common goals.

What?
WEAR THE CUSTOMER’S SHOES: We understand our customers needs and wants so that we can create the platform they need to be successful. We are building a visual programming language for marketers to enable them to better connect with their customers. Our platform must be easy to use and intuitive to help drive their success.
DRAW THE OWL: We are building a new web experience in Growth Automation from the ground up. Build new features and improve performance, usability, and accessibility.
BE BOLD: We are all owners of the products we are building, everyone is empowered to drive the product vision forward.
EMPOWER OTHERS: You're empathetic, patient, and love to help your teammates grow.
Why?
The Growth Automation team is building a new platform to provide a one-stop shop for marketers to build delightful, personalized customer experiences across any channel based on a single view of the customer. Orchestrate a customer journey and send emails, SMS, push notifications, voice, video, WhatsApp, onsite personalization - any channel that the customer prefers most with a relevant message they actually want to see. Our team’s goal is to help Twilio-Segment customers understand, aid, and delight their customers across every first party touchpoint and interaction.
Growth Automation is being built on top of the most sophisticated first party customer data platform in the world. Imagine a platform that can take the hundreds of thousands of messages entering Segment’s pipelines every second, add in a new identity graph, and overlay multiple high speed, realtime and batch databases — and you have the Personas platform. We’ve since built several successful products on top of the Personas platform: Segment Audiences for real time audience management, Segment Traits for computation, and Profile API for real time personalization. Now we are building a growth automation platform.
Where?
You can work remotely from any state in the US. We generally work Pacific hours, but the team has members across the country (and some in other countries). Around the world, Twilio-Segment offers benefits and perks to support the physical, financial, and emotional well being of you and your loved ones. No matter where you are based, you will experience a company that believes in small teams for maximum impact; seeks well-rounded talent to ensure a full perspective on our customers’ experience, understands that this is a marathon, not a sprint; that continuously and purposefully builds an inclusive culture that empowers everyone to do their best work and be the best version of themselves.
