Staff Software Engineer (Backend)

Direct message the job poster from Copper Copper isn’t

just another CRM. Most CRMs are glorified databases with legions of

custom fields that attempt to make business processes repetitive.

But just as no two people are identical, neither are most sales

processes. Copper takes a human and action-centered approach by

building tools that teams love and adopt so businesses can focus on

growing faster. Copper surprises people : Clients tell us they

actually love their CRM, but this notion was previously a feat of

impossibility. We’re turning CRM on its head by offering a

beautifully crafted, Google Workspace-native tool that offers

productivity, organization and visibility. It’s an exciting time to

be part of Copper. We’re expanding into new product areas with a

goal to deliver a suite of customer-growth solutions. There are few

individual players left in the business productivity category who

are truly capable of capturing significant market share. We’re one

of them – with a strong foothold in the space, and funds raised of

100 million. Copper is looking for a positive,

customer-oriented
