About the Go-To-Market Team

Scribd’s Go-To-Market (GTM) team is a cross-functional group tackling some of our most critical product challenges. Our work spans multiple web and mobile applications, bridging the gap between product development and customer acquisition. We’re collaborating with partner teams enterprise-wide to ensure our product delights audiences, generates buzz, and exceeds stakeholder expectations.

As a GTM Staff Front-end Engineer

As a Staff Front-end Engineer on the GTM team, you’ll architect and implement critical user flows. You’ll collaborate with back-end and machine learning engineers to build the systems powering those flows, as well even diving into some application API or back-end code when needed.

You’ll lead from the front, as well, shipping code that meets project goals while considering testability, upgradeability, scalability, and observability to enable incremental improvement.
