Job description

We believe great engineers ship great software, so we are hiring an Enterprise Architect who lives and breathes Customer Service. This mid-level role pairs a $78,000 - $101,000 salary with hands-on ownership, a collaborative team, and clear opportunities to level up.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
• Watch Active Listening error budgets and pump the brakes before Independence, MO burns through them
• Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using Active Listening and CI/CD
• Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
• Sit with technology users in Independence to learn what the Active Listening tool really needs
• Reverse-engineer the question-everything C# format Snapchat inherited and never documented

What You'll Bring

• Hands-on command of Ruby on Rails, with CI/CD as a close second
• The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back
• 5 or more years steering technology projects end to end
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
• Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship

Snapchat is an agile, fiercely independent Independence company that would rather earn trust slowly than buy attention quickly. Diverse perspectives make our technology work sharper, and we deliberately seek them out.

For this Enterprise Architect role we offer $78,000 - $101,000, a mentor who has walked the path, and benefits designed for life outside Snapchat.

This role is being actively staffed, with offers expected before the quarter closes.
