At the company, we have found our people. We’re a genuinely approachable, exceptionally kind, and intensely passionate crew.

We seek to ignite that passion by setting high standards, championing teamwork, and creating work-life harmony as we collectively navigate rapid growth on a global scale while striving for greater equity and opportunity – inside and outside our organization.

To flourish here, you must be prepared to set a high bar for yourself and those around you. There is always a way to contribute: Acting with autonomy, having accountability and being open to new perspectives are essential to our continued success.

Our deep curiosity to learn and our eagerness to share diverse passions with others gives us balance and injects a one-of-a-kind vibrancy into our culture.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Content Cards team, which is focused on transforming in-product surfaces into dynamic, personalized experiences that adapt to user behavior in real time.

We build the systems that power in-app engagement across customers’ websites and applications - covering message definition, composition, targeting, delivery semantics, and analytics - along with a feature-rich dashboard that lets brands and UX teams seamlessly manage in-product messaging experiences inside their products.

As a senior engineer on the team, you will build new capabilities, improve reliability and performance, and help guide key architectural decisions as we scale. You’ll help drive ambitious initiatives that expand what customers can build on high-value surfaces, unlock new ways to present and orchestrate content, and strengthen platform foundations that accelerate future innovation across in-product channels.

We value engineers who consistently raise the bar through strong technical leadership, thoughtful system design, and clear communication.

WHO YOU ARE

• 5+ years of full-stack development experience
• An experienced technical leader with a track record of driving complex projects from ambiguity to delivery
• Strong understanding of system design, data structures, and algorithms
• A self-starter with strong communication and organizational skills; experienced working in a team environment

Bonus:

• Professional experience building software at immense scale, especially customer-facing platforms with high reliability requirements
• Professional Experience with Ruby, Sidekiq, TypeScript/JavaScript, and React
• Experience with agile development processes
