Split Software is an industry-leading Feature Delivery Platform which enables companies to embrace Impact-Driven Development across their engineering teams. We pair the speed and reliability of feature flags with data to measure the impact of every feature. By reducing development time, mitigating release risk, and quantifying impact, we free engineering teams to solve customer and business problems.

Split is committed to power the world’s product decisions and enabling engineering and product to release features quickly and safely. As a senior level Backend Engineer, you will be responsible for building massively scalable, low latency, elegant systems that turn billions of data points per day into meaningful data streams to delight our customers with relevant information. You will also help shape our customer features and experience through the building of our application backend, working on all our experimentation and measurement features. Split engineers have strong problem solving capabilities, are great team players and have great communication skills. They are goal-oriented, have the ability to handle interruptions while fluidly switching between several projects and dealing with issues that arise when running a highly available service. As with all engineering positions at Split, we are not looking for those who code the fastest, but those who find a balance between creating code from scratch and leveraging existing frameworks and technologies to deliver the best value to our customers.

We Row Together: Our Culture and Belonging

We’re all in the same boat with mutual trust and respect.

We believe an inclusive workplace is critical to the success of our team and our customers. We constantly strive to make Split a safe and welcoming place for people from systematically marginalized communities. We’re looking for teammates that are as passionate as we are and want to join us in doing this extremely important work.

Our offices act as important vessels for our culture, but we are so much more.
