Startup-Minded Technologist -- Build systems for SaaS-like subscription business

Private Equity Portfolio Company - Phoenix, LA, or Remote
Full-Time and/or Contract

Company & Role:
Seeking an entrepreneurial, hands-on, startup-minded technologist to help build scalable systems for subscription-based business. We are embarking on a ground-up build of a modern tech stack to help us scale. (However, the business is not a startup -- we are an established profitable business with a sizeable subscriber base).

Role will be excellent fit for a startup-up minded engineer/developer who is excited about building a clean, scalable, tech stack – without the business risk of a true startup. Company was recently purchased by a Private Equity firm; the ideal candidate will grow with the company and/or transition to new PE-owned businesses, as she/he desires.

We envision this being a full-time, on-site role in Phoenix or LA – however for the right candidate, we are open to contract positions.

Must-Have’s:

• 5+ years of relevant experience, including substantial back-end experience, moderate to substantial front-end experience, and an engineer’s ability to figure things out
• Hands-on experience building back-end systems for SaaS/subscription businesses – managing customer information, subscription information, and integrations with website, payment gateway, and third-party APIs
• In-depth understanding of back-end / database design, including normalization and best practices. Adeptness with ETL and standardizing, cleaning, structuring, and migrating data.
• Ability to integrate back-end systems with (1) internal tools, (2) website, and (3) billing
• Implements analytics and reporting to deliver business metrics: sales conversion rates, CAC, LTV, churn, etc.
• Is generally "handy" with technology -- knows some scripting, ideally has front end skills, can read a tech spec for an API and figure it out

Nice-to-have’s:

• Substantial front-end experience – reps building out a modern consumer facing website, including a sales funnel, subscriber portal, payment integrations, analytics, etc.
• Familiarity integrating back-end with standard modular systems (e.g., a front-end such as WordPress; sales/marketing CRMs like Hubspot/SalesForce)
• Experience managing direct reports, working with internal customer services teams, and devising simple workflows and common-sense automation

Profile:

• Energetic team-player who wants to hustle, build the business, and grow with the organization
• A passion for implementing clean, ground-up, scalable systems and efficient processes
• Self-directed and entrepreneurial problem solver; hungry and a hustler

Why join us:

• Interesting work - build a world-class tech stack for a growing subscription business
• No bureaucracy – work directly with executive team, be included in senior decisions
• Scale a promising business – model is proven and vetted; company is investing in growth
• Career growth – expand role over time with a fast-growing business and PE firm
• Network – access to a smart, high-integrity group of business managers and owners
• Mobility – the right candidate may run a similar playbook at other PE-backed businesses

Compensation and benefits:

• Market competitive compensation and benefits
• Commensurate with experience and whether role is full-time or contract
• Performance-based path to additional roles and work with PE owners and co-investors
