About Kustomer
Kustomer is the industry leading conversational CRM platform perfecting every customer experience. Built with intelligent tools such as AI and Automation, no code-configuration and a connected data platform that unifies data from multiple sources through a single timeline, Kustomer empowers businesses to operate with greater efficiency and deliver more personalized service to customers across any channel, making every interaction more meaningful and memorable. Today, Kustomer is the core platform for leading brands like Abercrombie, Nuts.com, Skims, Turo, Priceline and Sweetgreen.
Kustomer was founded in 2015 by serial entrepreneurs Brad Birnbaum and Jeremy Suriel and has raised over $200M in funding backed by leading VCs. Meta announced its intention to acquire Kustomer in 2020 and completed the transaction in 2022. Kustomer joined Meta’s Business Messaging Group to transform the way people and businesses communicate through modern messaging channels. In 2023, Kustomer spun out from Meta as a standalone company backed by original partners, Battery, Redpoint and Boldstart Ventures, who have invested $60M in capital, ensuring Kustomer’s growth and success for many years to come.
Our Krew is made up of passionate and collaborative people who really care about what they do and the people they help. We look for people who are dedicated to enhancing the customer service experience for everyone involved, as it’s the core of what we do. We’re growing our business with no plans of slowing down. We actively seek individuals who want to learn and be challenged every day. Kustomer has a strong NYC presence and is also a remote friendly company, with Krew members located throughout the US and United Kingdom. We believe in togetherness to help foster strong relationships, collaboration and communication, and our Krew gets together for both KKO and Kamp Kustomer each year.
About the Role
The Kustomer TechOps team is a little different — and we like it that way. We’re not just here to fix things (though we’re great at that, too); we own much of Kustomer’s internal tech stack, help connect and streamline systems, and work closely with teams across the company to automate and improve the way our Krew works. Whether it’s solving a problem, rolling out a new tool, or proactively building self-service solutions, we make tech easier, smarter, and more empowering for the Krew.
Eventually you’ll have the freedom to explore beyond your lane — whether that means prototyping internal tools such as the Kustomer app, contributing to cross-functional projects, or diving into new technologies. We believe the best ideas come from curiosity, not job titles. If you’re someone who enjoys solving problems no matter how difficult, wants to own tools and processes, and wants to work at the intersection of support, systems, and strategy — you’ll thrive here.
