Life as an Engineer at EvenUpWe're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Growth engineering pod, part of a combined Growth & Agents organization building the next generation of AI-powered customer communication.This team is responsible for the systems that power how personal injury law firms engage with clients at scale, from AI outreach agents and configurable communication workflows to a centralized communication hub spanning email, SMS, and voice.
As one of the senior backend engineers on the team, you'll own technical decisions end-to-end, from shaping ambiguous product ideas through production. You'll partner closely with Product and Design, influence the direction of the platform, and help solve open-ended engineering problems where there isn't always a clear right answer. With a small team supporting a broad product surface, you'll have significant ownership and the opportunity to shape both the architecture and the product itself.
What You'll Do- Ship backend features and services across EvenUp's Growth pod - from multi-channel outreach agents to configurable communication workflows.
- Own technical decisions within your scope end-to-end, from design through production.
- Partner closely with Product and Design on ambiguous, evolving specs, especially around bespoke customer customization requests.
- Build for low-latency, high-performance needs as usage scales.
- Contribute across the team's email, SMS, and voice channel work.
What We Look For- A strong track record of shipping production systems end-to-end, and the ability to clearly explain the technical decisions you made and what you learned.
- Comfortable working through ambiguity and solving problems that don't come with a predefined solution.
- Strong technical depth and the ability to dive into the details of your own work rather than speaking in generalities.
- Experience with TypeScript and/or Python is a plus. Experience building AI-powered products, conversational AI, communication platforms, or SMS/compliance systems is an even bigger plus.
- Around 5-8 years of software engineering experience as an individual contributor. We're looking for builders who enjoy owning technical problems rather than pursuing people management.
This is a hybrid role, with an expectation of being in our Toronto office three days per week.
