Who we are
Recharge is the leader in powering physical subscriptions, making it one of the most important ecommerce engines. Recharge powers over 50M subscriptions worldwide and has processed more than 10B in transactions. More than 15K brands such as Verve Coffee Roasters, Bokksu, Who Gives A Crap, Billie, and Bite Toothpaste Bits rely on Recharge daily to grow their businesses and delight their customers.
Recharge’s mission is to enable brands and merchants to form strong, lasting relationships with their customers through recurring purchases. As merchants seek ways to drive more direct sales and distribution through their channels and move away from a reliance on traditional online marketing strategies, Recharge has made it possible to grow businesses with seamless, recurring customer transactions.
Bootstrapped until 2020, Recharge is valued at over 2.1B dollars and is a double unicorn with a total raise of 277M dollars. Join us as we work with our merchants to define the future of ecommerce.
Role Overview
The R&D team at Recharge is responsible for driving high difficulty projects and new product development to reality. Our current project is a no-code orchestration tool that allows merchants to set up marketing experiences, reduce churn, manage customer touchpoints, and measure the results of their activity. This product is critical for Recharge’s long-term success and that of our merchant customers in their quest to optimize customer lifetime value and connect various services. As a senior engineer on this team, your work will have a meaningful impact on our business as we grow.
As an senior engineer you will:
- Ship features that are of utmost importance to Recharge’s success
- Work collaboratively with your fellow engineers and product counterparts to pragmatically develop products
- Review Python code, pair with others to design solutions, mentor more junior engineers, and be part of on-call rotations as needed to support our products
- Apply your own knowledge and experience to work through engineering challenges
About You
Execution: You want to get things done. You’re energized by getting product in front of customers, and prefer an iterative approach with regular deliveries to your stakeholders versus all-at-once major releases. You hold yourself accountable for shipping regularly. You understand merchant feedback is key in building the right thing and are flexible to handle changes in direction.
Engineering excellence: You have strong experience in building complex systems, both in zero-to-one contexts and incremental changes to existing systems. You’re confident in contributing to both paradigms. You think about quality, reliability, and observability, and know how to take a risk-based approach in balancing these concerns with speed of delivery. (And, also, you’re pretty familiar with Python. You’re going to use it a lot here.)
Communication: You are a sound communicator across multiple mediums, including in-person, video, chat, and written documentation. You enjoy regular collaboration with others and believe it’s important to shipping out high quality work. While you understand the value of focused work, you believe that feedback from your peers and brainstorming on architecture is important to producing something great.
Pragmatic: You productively work with your leadership, your product counterparts, and your team to deal with the realities on the ground on a day-to-day basis. You know plans change as we learn, and you’re flexible to deal with those changes as they come. Fuzzy requirements are far more common than clearly defined customer expectations, and you’re able to help work through the ambiguity with your teammates.
Bias for action: You are independent and self-driven, with a high degree of ownership over problems. You err on the side of taking action when needed, and know how to balance this with the need to research and understand problems.
Kindness and respect: You strive to be a positive influence on the team. You have respect for yourself, your teammates, your leaders, and your stakeholders, and you expect that others have that same respect for you. You want this role to be a place where your contributions are understood and valued, and you want to work with others to make sure that happens.
Ambitious: You’re looking to grow. Whether that means a staff engineer role one day or a management role, you’re looking to push yourself and raise the bar for your teammates. You want to succeed, and you want to do the right things to succeed with us. You’re looking for a role where you can make a meaningful impact, because you know that’s the ticket upward.
