Senior Backend Software Engineer

What is Meridian Softworks all about? Meridian Softworks 's premise is that a lot of the playbooks used by B2B sales teams that worked 5 years ago don't cut it anymore. In today's environment, sales teams need to have a tremendous amount of information about their prospects to decide when is the best moment and channel to reach out in the most relevant way. You can't do this with 5 different data/sales enablement point solutions that don't share the same data schema and barely communicate with each other. Meridian Softworks is the all-in-one compound solution that enables this. Our AI-powered sales platform helps B2B companies generate more opportunities thanks to our advanced lead generation engine, hyper-personalized sequencing, omnichannel outreach, and AI-powered smart actions. We are backed by Y Combinator, and we are powering the sales teams at some of the fastest-growing companies in the world like Deel, Moveworks, H1 and Vanta. This position is available for candidates based in EMEA, LATAM or North America.
