• You’re naturally curious and willing to ask questions
• You’re always learning whether it’s about the product or use cases and how we help our customers and potential prospects
• You’re an out-of-the-box thinking and willing to try new and creative approaches to cold outreach

Today over 1,700 internet businesses use Customer.io to manage, send, and track performance of email, SMS, and push notifications.

We are offering a starting salary of $60,000 USD + OTE depending on experience and subject to market rate.

Benefits at Customer.io include:

• 20 days PTO – we offer 20 vacation days (in addition to holidays and sick days) so that you can unwind, unplug, and recharge
• 100% medical, dental, vision, and supplemental insurance for you and your dependents
• 6 weeks paid parental leave – for birth, adoption, or foster care
• Health and wellness allowance – Up to $200 USD per month that can be used for your healthy living needs, including gym membership, acupuncture, massage, or bike repairs
• Home office stipend – Up to $2,000 USD to help you get your home office set up so you can do your best work
• Internet + cell phone reimbursement – Up to $200 USD per month for your internet and cell phone plans
• Co-working space reimbursement – Up to $300 USD per month for those times you’d prefer to work in a co-working environment
• Learning + development – Up to $2,000 USD reimbursement per year to use on conferences, books, classes, or workshops – anything that will help you develop your skills
• 1 month paid sabbatical after four years at Customer.io – to treat yourself to a vacation, or spend however you choose
• Company retreats twice a year – we typically get together IRL every spring and fall, but most recently had an amazing virtual retreat!
• Flexible schedule, work anywhere you want! – as long as you have a reliable internet connection and some overlapping work time with your manager, you can work where and when you want

All final candidates will be asked to complete an employment and education verification authorization form (which allows us to verify your job history and education listed on your resume) as part of our pre-employment process.

We work hard to build a diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment where everyone has the opportunity to learn and grow. Diverse teams create better products and stronger companies, and we encourage applicants from underrepresented groups to apply.
