Description

The company builds a customer engagement platform that helps brands turn customer actions into personalised, one-to-one experiences across channels.

The company is growing fast across the world and wants to expand equity and opportunity both inside and outside its walls.

The team values high standards, teamwork, work-life balance, autonomy, accountability, and openness to other views, and its curiosity and shared outside interests add energy to the culture.

If you enjoy hard problems and act quickly when things shift, you will have room to make a real impact alongside a sharp team.

Apply even if you do not meet 100% of the criteria listed.

Responsibilities

  • Join the data export team as a Senior Software Engineer to build, run, and evolve the company's data export system at scale.
  • The system is a Kafka event pipeline that processes tens of billions of messages a day, letting customers analyse user behaviour in near real time.
  • Take projects from concept to production and improve existing high-scale systems with a collaborative team.
  • Use your past experience, skills, and teamwork to solve the engineering challenges of running a critical data streaming system.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of full-stack development experience.
  • A track record of constructing core systems at large scale and leading software projects that moved your organisation's goals forward.
  • Lead by example and mentor engineers well, raising the standard of the people around you.
  • Self-starter with strong communication and organisation skills, comfortable working in a highly collaborative team.
  • Experience with Kafka at scale or comparable technology.
  • Professional experience with distributed systems and/or microservices.
  • Bonus: experience with Java, Kotlin, Confluent, or React.

Conditions

For candidates based in the United States, the starting pay range is $140,400 to $232,200 per year, with expected On Target Earnings (OTE) of $156,000 to $258,000 per year, including bonus or commission.

The exact offer depends on factors such as market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

The role follows a hybrid way of working.

The company 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 company is an equal opportunity employer.

AI tools help screen applications and schedule and summarise interviews, and screening may amount to solely automated decision-making, but recruiters make all hiring decisions. You can opt out of AI-assisted review through the application form, ask for information about how AI is used, request a manual review of a decision, or contest one, as set out under New York City Local Law 144, and bias audit summaries are published.

Benefits

  • Competitive pay that may include equity, including restricted stock units (RSUs) so you own a share of the company.
  • Retirement and employee stock purchase plans.
  • Flexible paid time off.
  • Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability coverage.
  • Fertility benefits and equal paid parental leave.
  • Career pathing, learning platforms, and a yearly learning stipend.
  • An in-office experience designed to build community, team connections, and innovation.
  • An annual company-wide Volunteer Week and donation matching.
  • Employee resource groups.
  • Benefits vary by location, and full plan details are provided with an offer.
