About the Product

Designing and building the Ceros platform is not an easy task. We require the best-of-the-best web developers, designers, and QA testers, ready to bring the functionality of desktop software to the web, often pushing web browsers to the limits of what’s currently possible.

Our codebase is 95% JavaScript and the Ceros product is comprised of multiple single-page applications with a client-heavy focus. We use libraries like jQuery, Require, and Backbone. The Ceros Studio is architected around the HTML5 Canvas element.

We’re not language zealots. We believe in using the right tool for the job, and our current server-side infrastructure runs PHP, Node.js, Redis, AWS Aurora, Docker, Jenkins, etc. on the Amazon AWS cloud.


About the Team

As part of the Ceros product team, you’ll be working with a small, cross-functional group of the most talented people you’ve ever worked with. We hire only passionate and creative people with a proven and unquestionable ability to execute, and every member of the team is equally responsible for moving the product forward.

We have a dynamic company culture that collaborates daily. We care deeply about the user experience, and we debate passionately about our ideas. When you work at Ceros, you check your ego at the door, and you aren’t afraid to be honest, especially to yourself. We take our jobs seriously but ourselves not so much -- whether it’s cracking jokes in the chat room or poking fun at the CEO’s atrocious spelling.


About the Job

Working completely from home, you’ll be communicating often through chat rooms, email, and video conferencing. We offer flexible working hours and an extremely flexible vacation policy. And we provide excellent gear (15” Macbook Pro, iPad, external monitor, etc.).


As a Sr. Full Stack Developer, your typical day-to-day involves:

• writing maintainable code (probably goes without saying)
• having your day ruined by functional QA testers who find every bug you write
• planning and leading high-complexity stories and epics
• reviewing story docs and offering insights on impacts to other parts of the application
• performing code reviews and helping to enforce our code and architectural standards
• participating as a primary on-call resource for service disruptions
• handling superfriend responsibilities with minimal assistance
• acting as release owner
• mentoring other developers
• suggesting new technologies and techniques to improve developer productivity
• agonizing over the user experience until even a trained monkey could use the product
• collaborating with and mentoring your peers on security best practices
• and finally, deploying your code to production and seeing the customer create something amazing and beautiful with it.

Key Things to Know

• This is a remote role
• We want you to start ASAP
• This is a full-time position

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Unlimited vacation days
• Stock options
• Premium health insurance
• Excellent gear (15” Macbook Pro, iPad, external monitor, etc.)

NOW HIRING: Product Marketer

Company: HelpScout
Website: https://www.helpscout.com
Headquarters: Boston, Massachusetts, United States


The Help Scout platform helps more than 10,000 small and midsize businesses in 140+ countries deliver great customer service. We’re building a product marketing team to help us earn the next 10,000 customers through close collaboration with our product, engineering, design, support, leadership, and(of course) marketing teams.


As a Product Marketer on our team, you will:

• Make it easy for businesses to understand the value of Help Scout. It goes without saying that the ability to foster a deep understanding of our products, customers, and target audience is critical to this role. You’ll be a product expert: filling the gaps between what features we have, what customers are aware of, and use cases for growth.
• Create messaging that communicates value. Great stories enable us to differentiate from competitors, communicate the value of our products, and share our impact with the world. You’ll use market, customer, and competitive research to create effective messaging frameworks, content, collateral, and sales tools to drive adoption and growth.
• Design, develop, and execute cross-functional product launches. You’ll be the point person for product launches, and are responsible for knowing what we’re releasing; who it will benefit; how impactful it will be; and how to best get the word out. That includes creating audience segmentation plans; developing messaging around the value of the new feature; writing copy and content along the customer journey for our self-service and sales-assisted funnels; pulling together the launch plan; coordinating marketing activities; identifying opportunities for iteration and experimentation; and measuring the impact of your campaigns.
• Support demand generation, content marketing, and acquisition efforts. From crafting website copy to running a custom video shoot and everything in between, you’ll collaborate with internal teams, freelancers, and agencies to create and maintain an up-to-date product presence across all marketing channels. This will include (but is not limited to) our website, email programs, blog, print materials, digital assets, events, and more. Everything you write sets and reinforces the voice and tone of our brand.
• Enable our customer-facing teams. You’ll educate our internal customer-facing teams to ensure they’re informed of what we’re releasing, how it will benefit our customers, and how to talk about it. You’ll participate in gathering competitive intelligence; ensuring consistency of our messaging across teams and channels; and producing internal and external product materials including case studies, sales collateral, and internal training sessions.

About You

• You’ll need to be skilled in understanding, articulating, and communicating the value of our products to our target audience through creative marketing tactics and programs.
• You have superhuman organizational skills, an entrepreneurial spirit, and the capability to bring different teams together to achieve a common goal. You have a track record of getting things done—managing multiple projects and timelines simultaneously.
• You are empathetic and thoughtful, always putting yourself in the customer’s shoes. You know that the most relevant messages start with understanding how people feel, which includes internal and external partners and stakeholders.
• You have a high bar of excellence and leave no stone unturned when it comes to the details. Shipping a campaign with a broken link will temporarily ruin your day (but you’ll quickly recover and learn from the mistake, as will we!).
• You are an outstanding writer, with a knack for summing up a customer benefit in 10 words or less. You can connect what something does with why the reader should care in a clear, articulate way.
• You have a thorough, practical understanding of the product marketing process and understand how to balance competing demands and needs while always delivering content and communications that are valuable for your customers.
• You are excited about being part of a remote-first company! No experience is required—we’re happy to set you up for success.
• You have worked in B2B SaaS and enjoy the challenges of attracting people and getting them to consider our product. Bonus points for experience with SMB markets or in companies with a hybrid self-service/sales assisted business model.
• You can work almost anywhere in the world as long as you have 3+ hours of overlap time with US Pacific (GMT-8) working hours or are willing to time shift to accommodate the preferred timezone.

Who you’ll work with:

• Head of Product Marketing – To be hired. You’ll report to this person, while also working closely with Justine Jordan, our CMO, on go-to-market strategy and campaigns.
• Ben Henderson — Director of Product, along with our product leads
• Product Specialists in the Support Team - Product specialists represent the voice of the customer, track and report on customer insights, and take the lead on creating documentation.
• The Sales Team—The Help Scout sales team inverts the way sales is typically done. They’re passionate about their craft, which entails putting the customer ahead of the sale.
• …plus teammates in Design, Marketing, Finance, and more!

Benefits

• Competitive Salary - We pay at or above market salary in most cases and evaluate a lot of research to make sure everyone is paid well. The formula we use to calculate all salaries is public to employees and is improved upon regularly.
• Health and dental insurance - We cover you and your family's health/dental insurance 100%. If you are based in the US, we'll cover you on our Aetna policy. If you're based outside the US, we'll reimburse your out-of-pocket health and dental insurance costs.
• Long-term/Short-term Disability Insurance & Life Insurance - we cover 100% of the premiums for LT/ST Disability insurance and base Life Insurance. You also have the option to purchase supplementary life insurance through our provider (currently US only).
• Flexible vacation - Take time off when you need it, we trust you.
• Sabbatical - After you've been at Help Scout for 4 years, you get a month of paid vacation plus $2500 to spend towards travel, learning, projects or however you'd like to spend that time.
• Paid parental leave, including adoption - 12 weeks of paid leave for all new parents.
• 401k with 1% match- via Betterment for Business (currently US only)
• Personal Development stipend - Up to $1,800 per year to improve your craft
