This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.

We are seeking an independent Senior Software Engineer who effectively balances technical excellence with a disciplined approach to the software development lifecycle.

What you'll be doing

• Design, build, and evolve intelligent marketing technology solutions that integrate Salesforce CRM with AWS services and modern generative AI capabilities.
• Architect and develop AI-powered experiences using Amazon Bedrock, LangChain, and modern LLM integration patterns to create context-aware, scalable, and mature solutions.
• Build robust backend services and integrations to support MarTech workflows, including LLM orchestration, prompt workflows, RAG pipelines, and other generative AI features.
• Lead the design and delivery of complex marketing technology initiatives from technical discovery through production deployment, ensuring scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
• Develop and refine prompt engineering strategies, grounding approaches, and AI interaction patterns that improve the quality, relevance, and safety of marketing technology AI experiences.
• Design and implement resilient APIs, event-driven integrations, and backend services that connect Salesforce, AWS platforms, internal systems, and external applications.
• Drive engineering excellence through strong CI/CD practices, using GitHub, Gearset, and deployment automation to support reliable and efficient releases.
• Champion observability, operational excellence, and production support practices to ensure enterprise-grade reliability, performance, and supportability of marketing technology systems and AI services.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through technical guidance, code reviews, design reviews, and hands‑on collaboration, raising the bar on engineering quality across the team.
• Lead technical decision‑making across architecture, integration design, AI/ML tooling, scalability, security, and long‑term platform evolution.
• Partner closely with product managers, designers, architects, security, data, and infrastructure teams to ensure solutions are aligned, secure, reliable, and enterprise‑ready.
• Collaborate effectively in a Scrum‑based Agile environment, using Jira and Confluence to drive execution, document decisions, and maintain delivery transparency.
• Evaluate emerging AI/ML technologies, frameworks, and engineering patterns, and apply them pragmatically to improve customer experience and operational efficiency.

What you'll bring to the role

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in marketing technology platforms, enterprise integrations, or CRM‑driven systems.
• Strong expertise in backend and application development using Python or Java, JavaScript or TypeScript, with the ability to build production‑grade, scalable software systems.
• Strong experience designing and building cloud‑native solutions on AWS, including services such as Lambda, S3, RDS, API Gateway, and CloudWatch, with a focus on scalability, resilience, and security.
• Proven experience integrating LLMs and generative AI capabilities into production‑ready applications, ideally using Amazon Bedrock, LangChain, or similar frameworks.
• Experience building AI‑powered backend services such as prompt orchestration layers, RAG workflows, retrieval pipelines, or other intelligent application patterns.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, including distributed systems design, API development, testing strategies, code quality, and maintainable architecture.
• Experience building and supporting CI/CD pipelines, source control workflows, and automated deployments using tools such as GitHub and Gearset.
• Ability to lead architecture discussions, influence technical strategy, and make sound engineering decisions across multiple systems and stakeholders.
• Demonstrated experience mentoring engineers and helping teams improve engineering practices, technical quality, and delivery maturity.
• Strong working knowledge of Agile/Scrum delivery models, and experience partnering across product, engineering, and business teams in sprint‑based execution.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical ideas clearly to both technical and non‑technical audiences.

Nice to have

• Experience with advanced prompt engineering, evaluation strategies, and optimization techniques for marketing technology AI applications.
• Familiarity with vector databases, embeddings, and Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures.
• Experience with LangGraph, LangSmith, agentic workflows, or related frameworks for orchestrating more advanced AI application behavior.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Exposure to advanced AWS services such as SageMaker, AppConfig, or event‑driven architectures.
• Track record of leading cross‑functional technical initiatives or delivering large‑scale platform improvements.
