Full Job Description

The Team

The Targeted Experiences team builds and evolves SMART, Q2’s personalization and targeting platform for digital banking.

SMART turns real-time behavioral, transactional, and partner data into actionable insights that can be activated across digital banking experiences and external systems. In addition to building the platform itself, the team owns partner enablement — ensuring SMART is reliable, well-documented, and ready for consumption by external developers, fintech partners, and marketing platforms.

The team is intentionally multi-disciplinary and owns the stack end to end, bringing together engineers with backgrounds in backend and frontend software engineering, data engineering, and data science. As SMART evolves, the team’s scope will continue to expand beyond a single product toward broader targeted and personalized experience capabilities across Q2’s ecosystem.

The Role

Q2 is seeking a Software Engineer to join the Targeted Experiences team and help build the platform capabilities behind SMART.

In this role, you will work both independently and collaboratively to design, implement, and operate cloud-native, data-driven services that power personalization and targeted experiences across Q2’s platform and partner ecosystem. This is a production-first engineering role: the systems you build will run in live environments, handle real customer data, and be consumed by both internal teams and external developers.

We are looking for engineers who enjoy working across the stack, care deeply about correctness and reliability, and are comfortable operating in a fast-moving platform environment where quality matters.

A Typical Day

  • Design, implement, integrate, and test backend and/or full-stack services of moderate complexity, including APIs, data pipelines, and platform components.

  • Work individually and collaboratively to deliver features and improvements in live production systems.

  • Create and automate detailed test cases during development.

  • Build and evolve services that integrate with internal Q2 systems, external partners, and third-party platforms.

  • Contribute to the operability of the platform, including monitoring, alerting, debugging, and incident resolution.

  • Support, maintain, and improve existing services, with occasional on-call participation.

  • Ensure all solutions adhere to security, privacy, availability, and compliance requirements.

  • Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and technical discussions, contributing to shared standards and best practices.

  • Collaborate closely with product managers, data engineers, and data scientists to deliver cohesive platform capabilities.

Bring Your Passion. Here’s What We’re Looking For.

  • Typically requires a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience and may require up to 2 years of related experience; or an advanced degree without experience.

  • Experience building backend services; full-stack experience is a plus.

  • Familiarity with RESTful APIs and single page applications

  • Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages

  • Experience working in a cloud-based environment (AWS preferred).

  • Familiarity with service-oriented or distributed architectures.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

  • Ability to communicate clearly and work effectively in a team setting.

  • Experience contributing in an Agile or iterative development environment.

This position requires fluent written and oral communication in English.

Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
