As the fastest-growing SaaS company in Chicago, we are scaling rapidly to keep up with market demand. We are growing all of our teams and looking for people who share our values, deliver innovation frequently and join us in our mission to grow our customer base from 90,000 today to millions.
We are excited to be in Indy and part of the local tech ecosystem, having chosen this as our second U.S. location. The Indy office owns a suite of products and features, interacting closely with Engineering, Product and Design teams in Chicago and delivering on our mission to be the most admired MarTech company for SMB’s.
We’re looking for software engineers with experience building high-throughput, data-intensive applications in Python. Our ideal candidate has built services within a horizontally scalable cloud architecture, but we’ll consider candidates with any experience. We value iteration, customer focus, and humility above all.
Recently, we’ve used Python in the following ways:
Built a serverless AWS Lambda data processing application on Amazon’s Chalice microframework
Added tooling around queue workers using Python’s great support for process management
Building new APIs using Flask (for microservices) and Django (for larger APIs that interact with databases)
You can help us extend and scale our marketing platform. This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing organization that truly cares about its people and their personal development.

What your day could consist of:

  • Build, test, and ship features confidently and with low friction through a modern GitLab continuous integration / continuous deployment pipeline
  • Work closely with your autonomous, cross-functional team
  • Teach as much as you learn
  • Validate your designs by building performance and load testing tools
  • Measure, optimize, and re-architect production systems as they reach their limits
  • Work with engineers on other teams to design services and APIs that enable feature work across our engineering organization

What is needed:

  • Relentless focus on our customer’s experience
  • Experience building and shipping scalable applications in Python
  • Opinions on software testing
  • Experience as a mentor or an apprentice
  • Fluency in other programming languages and platforms is nice, but not required
  • Experience with MVC frameworks a plus (like Flask, Django, or Chalice)
  • Experience with ORM frameworks a plus
  • Experience interacting with distributed systems a plus (Queuing Services, Message Notifications Services, File Stores, NoSQL Databases)

Perks and benefits:

ActiveCampaign is an employee-first culture. We take care of our employees at work and outside of work. We’ll share all the details later on but in summary: comprehensive health and welfare benefits including no premiums for employees on our HSA plan, open time off plan, generous 401(k) matching with no vesting, lunch and endless snacks/ beverages, reimbursed commuting, education budgets, ongoing learning and development, a proactive approach to diversity and inclusion, career pathing and lots of swag.
