Why you can actually get this job

The posting explicitly lists the Caribbean territories where the target user resides (Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, Guyana, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas) as allowed countries. The allowed UTC offsets include -5 (Jamaica's timezone). This is a full-time employee role with no stated work authorization requirement, no language requirement beyond English, no physical presence requirement, and no US citizenship mandate. The role is explicitly remote-first and open across the Americas.

“Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia +31 more” Geographic scope — Caribbean named explicitly; included subject to G3 (which passed above).
“suriname” Geographic scope — Structured location list contains unrecognisable entries — templated artifact, not trusted as scope.
“Employment type as stated: Full Time; Employment path detected by rules (relevant to G1): employee” Work authorization — Full-time employee role with no visa sponsorship language stated. Since this is an employee role, standard remote hiring does not require visa sponsorship.
“High autonomy in ambiguous environments - you clarify the problem, validate its value, and drive implementation without close direction” Physical presence — No physical presence, commuting distance, or relocation requirement stated anywhere in the posting. Role is fully remote.
“Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain technical decisions and tradeoffs clearly” Language — English proficiency required only. No language beyond English is mandated.
“Source-provided allowed countries: Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela” Geographic scope — Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Belize, Guyana, Antigua and Barbuda, and Bahamas are all explicitly listed as allowed countries.
“Source-provided allowed UTC offsets: -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3.5, -3, -2, 14” Timezone — UTC-5 (Jamaica) is explicitly included in the allowed offsets, providing full overlap with target user's timezone.

About the role

Hi, I’m Josh, Engineering Manager at Customer.io . We’re looking for a curious, AI-forward Fullstack SDK Engineer to join our SDK team and help us build the tools that developers rely on to integrate with Customer.io .

About Customer.io

Over 9,000 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.

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 developer using your tools, not just an engineer building them. You care about API design, developer experience, and everything in between.
  • 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 and evolve Customer.io 's SDKs across platforms - including Android, iOS, Node, and Go - and the developer tools that support them
  • Lead SDK initiatives end to end: set technical direction, write the code, manage the release, and own the outcome
  • Improve SDK delivery infrastructure - CI, automated testing, versioning, publishing, and release processes - so shipping is reliable and low-friction
  • Partner closely with product and design to turn loosely defined goals into a great developer experience
  • Use AI agents to make multi-file changes across unfamiliar codebases and languages by scoping the work, writing the prompt, and verifying the output
  • Bring strong customer empathy to the role - understanding what the engineers integrating with our SDKs actually need, and occasionally engaging directly with them

What we're looking for

  • Expert-level competency in at least one established programming language, with strong software design and API design fundamentals
  • Experience building and evolving mature, production-quality software, with a clear understanding of how systems fit together and how other developers consume them

Exceptional fluency with current LLMs and agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, Codex) - using AI to understand unfamiliar codebases, work across languages, and run things in parallel or autonomously

  • High autonomy in ambiguous environments - you clarify the problem, validate its value, and drive implementation without close direction
  • Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain technical decisions and tradeoffs clearly
  • Ability to work effectively across multiple languages and stacks; prior experience in every language we support (Swift, Kotlin, Node, Go) is not required
  • Nice to have: experience building external-facing SDKs, APIs, or developer tools; experience owning CI, testing, versioning, or release infrastructure; or forward-deployed engineering experience.

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.

Our Process

  • No gotchas, no trick questions - just a clear, human process designed to help both of us make an informed decision.
  • Application - We review everyone with care. Tell us why you're interested.
  • Recruiter Call (30 mins) - Let’s chat about what you’re looking for and how we work.
  • Hiring Manager & AI Skills Interview (60 mins) - We'll explore ownership, autonomy, and collaboration, then dig into how you actually use AI in your day-to-day workflow.
  • Practical AI-Enabled Coding Round (60 mins) - A live, collaborative session where you'll extend a sample SDK using AI tools. Wwe want to see how you think and work with AI as part of your process.
  • All final candidates will be asked to complete a background check and employment verifications as part of our pre-employment process.

Customer.io recognizes the stifling impact of systemic injustice on diverse communities. We commit to using our influence to increase inclusion and equity within the tech industry. We strive to build an inclusive team culture, implement bias-free hiring practices, and develop community partnerships to expand our global impact.

Zoom is the only video conference platform that we use, virtual interviews will be conducted using the video capability (i.e., not via the chat), and offers will be extended in writing on official Customer.io letterhead. Please be vigilant in all of your job search activity, and if you have any questions please contact .

Join us!

We believe in empathy, transparency, responsibility, and, yes, a little awkwardness. If you’re excited by what you read and want to build software that makes communication better for everyone—apply now.
