Over 8,000 companies - from scrappy startups to global brands - use our platform to send billions of emails, push notifications, in-app messages, and SMS every day. Customer.io powers automated communication that people actually want to receive.

We help teams send smarter, more relevant messages using real-time behavioral data. Under the hood: Go, React, Ember and AI help us ship fast and scale with confidence.

We’re looking for thoughtful, experienced frontend product engineers who love designing delightful user interfaces and care deeply about the details. You’ll build the tools that empower our customers to create better experiences for theirs.

What We Value

Ownership

You own problems end to end. You move fast, act like an owner, and thrive in ambiguity. You've led complex projects before—whether officially or not—and you're ready to do it again.

Engineers with product taste

You think like a user, not just an engineer. You advocate for clean, intuitive design and love turning complex workflows into seamless, elegant interfaces.

A healthy skepticism for “the way things are done”

You bring rigor and creativity. Best practices matter - but never more than forward motion.

What You’ll Do

Build high-quality, accessible UIs in React and Ember that power core user workflows
Collaborate with engineers and designers to bring new features to life
Continuously improve our design system and frontend architecture for performance and scalability
Share knowledge and raise the bar through sharing your progress publicly with the team
Leverage AI tools to prototype, move faster, and make better decisions

What we're looking for

7+ years of frontend experience building complex applications
Fluency in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and modern frameworks like React (Ember.js is a bonus, or you're open to learning)
Care for polish, performance, accessibility, and the full user experience
Strong product thinking, with an understanding of how your code fits into the bigger picture
A bias for action over perfection, and pride in owning technical decisions

Compensation & Benefits

We believe in transparency. Starting salary for this role is $150,000 - $200,000 USD (or equivalent in local currency) depending on experience and subject to market rate adjustment.

We know our people are what make us great, and we’re committed to taking great care of them. Our inclusive benefits package supports your well-being and growth, including 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and supplemental insurance premiums for you and your family. We also offer 16 weeks paid parental leave, unlimited PTO, stipends for remote work and wellness, a professional development budget, and more.
