About the Job

Requirements

  • Have 7+ years of software engineering experience, including meaningful time as a technical leader influencing multiple teams or complex product systems.
  • Have experience building foundational backend systems at scale and working on complex and performant web-based user interfaces.
  • Be comfortable working across the full stack, with experience in Ruby on Rails and proficiency in modern frontend environments such as TypeScript and React.
  • Have designed and shipped foundational infrastructure, including frameworks, libraries, or platform services used by many other engineers to build product features.
  • Bring strong architectural judgment, including knowing when to invest in abstraction, when to keep things simple, and how to make technical bets that support a maturing product suite.
  • Be able to translate technical debt into business risk, coach engineers, and communicate a clear technical vision.
  • Have a track record of identifying high-leverage work, building consensus across different teams, and driving projects to completion with minimal direction through high ambiguity.

Responsibilities

  • Partner on the technical vision and quality bar for the division by driving architectural direction, defining best practices, and ensuring teams have a clear path to resolving persistent quality and technical debt issues.
  • Lead large, ambiguous projects end-to-end, spanning multiple teams from initial problem framing and design documents through implementation, rollout, and operational support.
  • Help teams evolve their technology stacks to support more sophisticated marketing use cases, ensuring foundational primitives are flexible and robust.
  • Mentor engineers at every level by simplifying hard problems, connecting technical decisions to business outcomes, and raising the bar through code review, architecture review, and pairing.
  • Improve observability and tighten error handling across the dashboard and delivery layers, advocating for incremental rollouts and reducing division-wide incidents.
  • Design and build foundational systems and frameworks that act as a force multiplier for the organization.
  • Develop shared frameworks for orchestration tools to ensure a consistent experience across messaging channels.
  • Evolve the dashboard to support real-time feedback and sophisticated automated flows for building, testing, launching, and analyzing user journeys.
  • Build platforms and code-generation tooling that allow teams to automate delivery of sophisticated user journeys.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience building or maintaining shared component libraries or design system primitives.
  • Experience with real-time systems or event-driven architectures as they relate to message orchestration.
  • Experience with developer experience tooling, such as code generation, scaffolding, or continuous integration and continuous delivery for large-scale codebases.
  • Experience maturing a product from early stage to enterprise scale without losing developer velocity.
