We focus on solving complex, data-rich problems — the kind where there are huge systemic inefficiencies and where a real solution will have a significant economic impact. Our CX performance platform uses machine learning across both voice and digital engagement channels to augment and automate human work, radically increasing productivity and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of customer experience teams.

ASAPP’s Platform Engineering team is looking for a leader with a healthy sense of curiosity, constant improvement mindset, and ability to thrive in an environment of startup-paced execution. The critical ingredients to success on the Platform team include understanding how application services run in the cloud infrastructure and providing a solid foundation for building and iterating on resilient, scalable services.

This role is onsite or hybrid flexible. We have offices in New York City, Northern California, and Bozeman.
