Hiring — Customer Happiness Engineer
We’re looking for a great problem solver to help our customers use Memberful. As the Customer Happiness Engineer, you’ll have the chance to make a big impact by providing unexpectedly great technical support to all customers and prospects. You’ll also fix routine bugs and work on high-impact feature requests for top customers.
About you
We’re a small team so autonomy, resourcefulness, and a sense of curiosity are necessary qualities for this role. We don't require heavy direction or daily check-ins. This means you'll come up with your own goals and execute them. You'll discover, plan, and see things through from start to finish.
This job is for you if:
- You’re responsible, empathetic, and articulate.
- You’re enthusiastic about life and work on a daily basis.
- You embrace responsibility and new challenges.
- You care deeply about form and function.
- You look for opportunities to improve process.
- You thrive on organization and planning.
- You do what it takes to get things done on time.
- You have experience working remotely and enjoy it, and you value deep work.
- You recognize it's about building a great product, and therefore embrace discussion and criticism of ideas.
- You don't claim to be an expert at everything, but you show a strong desire to learn new things and continually get better.
- You don’t just report the problem, you present a plan for fixing it.
You should be hungry and excited to take on real responsibility and work hard on useful software with real paying customers.

- Fix routine bugs that come up from time to time.
- Plan and ship new features.
- Ensure the service is fast and reliable.
- Communicate customer use cases and pain points to the team.
- Periodically on-call (all engineers rotate based on time zone and availability) for emergencies.
Some of the tools we use: Basecamp, Github, Heroku, Stripe, Librato, Circle CI, Postmark, Papertrail, Slack, Intercom.
Skills, Salary & Benefits
You should have demonstrated Ruby programming ability and experience with production Rails applications. We’re looking for someone with a strong track record of shipping solid work on a real product. Experience with applications hosted on Heroku is a bonus.
- Competitive salary based on experience.
- Work remotely from any North American timezone.
- Life-compatible hours. Results-based culture.
