About The Role
Come help us build the next-generation platform that will power Highspot’s vision for conversational intelligence, a robust Ecosystem platform, and agentic workflows—where software doesn’t merely respond to users but actively collaborates with them to drive business outcomes.

You’ll partner closely across engineering, product, and machine learning teams to ensure our platform can support adaptive, secure, and scalable AI-driven experiences. While expertise in every technology we use isn’t required, our stack includes Ruby, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, React, Next.js, Solr, AWS, Docker, Kafka, and Kubernetes.
