Role Summary:

We’re hiring a Staff Engineer – Workflows (Engine) to own and evolve the orchestration layer that powers automation at scale within HighLevel. You’ll rebuild the engine that drives 80M+ workflow enrolments per day and nearly 1 Billion action executions per day at peak load — with reliability, performance, and clarity at its core.

You’ll operate as a hands-on individual contributor, designing and writing core engine logic in Go and Node.js, while defining contracts, reliability guarantees, and scaling patterns. This is a Staff Architect track role — deep technical ownership, not management. You’ll have decision authority on engine architecture and are expected to set the gold standard for how distributed systems are built at HighLevel’s automation team.

Team & Project Overview:

You’ll join the Workflows (Engine) team — a small, autonomous group of top-tier engineers within the Workflows organization. The team’s mission is to build the next-generation orchestration engine that powers all automations at HighLevel: reliable, testable, and ready for future expansion.

This engine handles concurrency, ordering, retries, and scaling under unpredictable load. Your rewrite will make the system more robust, easier to extend with new actions and context types, and dramatically simpler to maintain. Ultimately, your work will enable faster feature delivery across the entire automation platform.

Day to day, you’ll work closely with the Engineering Manager (Workflows) and a Lead Engineer from Workflow Core — operating as the founding engineer for the new Engine org.
