Hi, I’m Chris, co-founder and CTO at Navattic. I’m excited to open up this full-stack engineering role centered around integrations as it involves leading one of our most essential areas of the product; helping customers easily surface and action interactive demo data.

Sending interactive demo data to other tools (HubSpot, Slack, Salesforce, Marketo) is an essential part of a Navattic deployment; it’s how customers track leads generated through interactive demos and importantly, it’s how customers show leadership that their interactive demo initiatives are working. We’ve learned both quantitatively and qualitatively that customers who have integrations setup see far more value from the product and are far more likely to recommend Navattic to their friends.

Given these findings, we’re doubling down on this product surface area by bringing on a full-stack engineer who’s interested in taking ownership over this section of the product.

Seeing as this product surface area is very customer-facing, a great fit for this role is someone that’s excited to 1) join customer calls to ensure their integrations are configured appropriately, 2) talk with customers to understand how we can improve our integrations and 3) incorporate that feedback to improve our integrations product experience at Navattic.

On the engineering team at Navattic, we prioritize autonomy and ownership. To ground it with examples, full-stack engineers at Navattic have:

• Built out a reporting dashboard that helps customers track aggregate demo activity over time. Importantly, this allows customers to see which demos are highest performing. We collect millions of analytics events at Navattic and it was an interesting technical challenge creating the data pipelines and performant queries that could surface this data to users in a matter of milliseconds.

• Improved the logic in our capture player so that the transition between DOM states is seamless. Because SVGs rely on stylesheets for their size and positioning, it was a non-trivial challenge quickly loading in new DOM states while properly formatting SVGs elements. Launching an improvement here helped customers create interactive demos that maintain a tight fidelity to their actual application.

• Implemented a feature that allows users to further customize the look and feel of interactive demos with custom fonts, margins and padding. This project included reviewing customer requests, scoping where these components would live on our theme builder and implementing the feature end-to-end.
  

We fortunate to have grown to 750+ customers (including Dropbox, Elastic, Mixpanel, Ramp and Digital Ocean), and we have great investors like YCombinator, 645 Ventures, and strategic angels.

One formality, we do require at least 1.5 years of experience as a full-time software engineer for this role.

Engineering Culture

Our engineering culture is motivated by our belief that a small talented team, given the right environment, can build high-quality software fast.

Collaboration is Natural & Communication is Deliberate

Engineers at Navattic (and the team at large) are naturally curious, have deep end-user empathy and are earnest to collaborate. These attributes create an environment where collaboration happens naturally (we filter for it in interviews). We’ve found that extended periods of focus, combined with a bias towards action, are powerful amplifiers of productivity at Navattic.

Increase Leverage, not Team Size

We built Navattic with the quality, breadth, and depth that many customers would expect from much larger teams over larger time scales. We’ve done this through investment in:

• Great developer tooling. We’ve built a CI/CD pipeline to facilitate rapid deployments. We’ve also built custom developer sandboxes to reduce time spinning up new environments and conduct performance tests.

• Building blocks to create powerful and customizable demos, fast. Our no-code builder is powerful, but easy to use (see an interactive demo) using modular components. Building with composability in mind is an essential part of our philosophy.
  

Give Engineers Ownership & Autonomy

We, as engineers, find clever ways to solve problems, which amplifies when we deeply understand the problem. We do our best work as engineers when we had a deep understanding of the end-user and the business and ownership over the solution. Our engineering culture reflects this experience: engineers own projects end-to-end, from speaking with users, to UX design and ultimately, implementation. These are skills that we often don’t get to practice as engineers, and, at Navattic, we provide mentorship to grow them and help from the team where you want it.

Interview Process

At Navattic, our team and interview process want to help you show your best self. We’ll dive into past projects and provide additional context on Navattic. Our interview process is three rounds:

1. 30-minute introduction call with our CTO (Chris) & Engineering Lead (Ryan)

2. A technical screen (take-home task)

3. Call with the Navattic leadership team

In the process, you'll meet the founding team and get the chance to show off your technical aptitude.

Your First Two Months at Navattic

We want an exceptional onboarding experience for every new hire. At Navattic, we spend a lot of time focused on building your confidence in our codebase and practices culminating in the delivery of a prominent, impactful feature. We’ll pair you with a peer who’ll guide you through your first tasks and be someone you rely on, from answering questions to pair programming.

Technology Stack

I’m sharing our tech stack with the caveat that we don’t require previous experience in it (but a love of typed languages is helpful 😀): TypeScript (frontend & backend), Javascript, Node.js, React, Apollo GraphQL.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and early-stage equity

• Bi-annual offsites (this fall we're going to Barcelona!)

• WeWork All-Access Passes (we have a satellite hub in NYC)

• Top-notch health insurance for you and your dependents.
  

Navattic’s success hinges on hiring great people and creating an environment where we can be happy, feel challenged, and do our best work. We’re being deliberate about building that environment from the ground up. I hope that excites you enough to apply.
