• - Ensure reliable campaign delivery: Build and maintain the services responsible for preparing, monitoring, and transferring campaigns to delivery systems, with effective monitoring and alerting to identify failures and delays.
• - Enable audience targeting and personalization: Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to integrate audience segmentation and personalization signals into campaign workflows, ensuring relevant content reaches the appropriate recipients.
• - Build extensible platform capabilities: Design configurable systems that accommodate new campaign formats, communication channels, and scheduling requirements while minimizing engineering complexity.
• - Maintain operational excellence: Improve service reliability through observability, performance metrics, alerting, incident management, and shared on-call responsibilities.
• - Deliver features end to end: Take ownership of complex backend initiatives throughout technical design, development, testing, deployment, and production support.
• - Promote engineering quality: Champion code quality, automated testing, maintainable architecture, and effective software development practices while mentoring junior engineers and sharing technical knowledge.

Requirements

• - Professional experience: At least five years of software engineering experience, with a strong background in designing, building, and maintaining large-scale backend applications.
• - Distributed systems expertise: Demonstrated experience developing fault-tolerant, highly concurrent distributed systems that operate reliably at scale.
• - Programming proficiency: Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience with modern backend languages such as Python or Ruby.
• - Software engineering best practices: Expertise in system design, unit testing, Git, code reviews, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automated deployment.
• - Database knowledge: Strong experience with relational databases, schema design, and query optimization, particularly PostgreSQL or comparable technologies.
• - API development: Understanding of modern web API architectures and technologies, including RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and gRPC.
