Description

The company runs a customer engagement platform that helps brands deliver personalized messages and experiences across channels.

The company is growing quickly on a global scale. It is headquartered in New York, with offices in Austin, Berlin, Bucharest, Chicago, Dubai, Jakarta, London, Paris, San Francisco, São Paulo, Singapore, Seoul, Sydney and Tokyo.

The team sets a high bar for itself and for each other. Members act on their own initiative, take ownership of their work and stay open to other views.

Curiosity and sharing interests outside work shape the culture and keep the team energized.

The company wants people who enjoy hard problems, move quickly when things change and want to make a real impact alongside a sharp team.

Responsibilities

  • Join the data export team as a Senior Software Engineer to build, maintain and evolve the company's data export system, which runs at scale.
  • That system is a Kafka-based event pipeline that handles tens of billions of messages a day, letting customers analyze user behavior in near real time.
  • Take projects from concept to production.
  • Improve existing high-scale systems.
  • Apply your past experience and skills, and work with a collaborative team on the engineering challenges of running a critical data streaming system.

Requirements

  • You have 5+ years of full-stack development experience.
  • You have built foundational systems at scale and led software projects that moved your organization's goals forward.
  • You mentor engineers well, lead by example and raise the standard of the people around you.
  • You work on your own initiative, communicate and organize well, and collaborate closely in a team.
  • You have worked with Kafka at scale or a comparable technology.
  • You have professional experience with distributed systems or microservices.
  • Bonus: experience with Java, Kotlin, Confluent or React.

Conditions

For candidates based in the United States, starting base pay is expected to be $140,400 to $232,200 per year, with on-target earnings (OTE) of $156,000 to $258,000 per year including bonus or commission.

Your actual offer may vary based on factors such as market location, job-related knowledge, skills and experience.

The role follows a hybrid work model.

Apply even if you do not meet 100% of the criteria. The company would still like to meet you.

The company is an equal opportunity employer and works toward equitable growth and opportunity inside and outside the organization.

The company uses AI-assisted tools at some recruiting stages. Screening analyzes the experience, skills and qualifications in your application and may amount to solely automated decision-making. AI also supports scheduling, interview recording and interview note summaries. Recruiters make all hiring decisions.

Depending on your location, you may opt out of AI-assisted review of your application, separately for each application you submit. You may also ask how AI is used, request a manual review of a decision, or contest a decision by contacting the talent team.

Bias audit result summaries for the automated employment decision tool are available from the company.

  • Retirement savings and an employee stock purchase plan.
  • Paid time off that is flexible.
  • Medical, dental, vision, life and disability coverage.
  • Fertility benefits and paid parental leave that applies equally.
  • Formal career paths, learning platforms and a yearly learning stipend.
  • An in-office experience designed to build community, team connections and new ideas.
