  • Drive AI-Native Innovation: Champion the integration of GenAI and machine learning into the platform for smarter content selection and advanced personalization patterns.
  • Orchestrate Complex Initiatives: Drive high-impact tech initiatives end-to-end, sequencing complex dependencies and managing risks across multiple systems and layers of architecture.
  • Empower & Velocity-Proof Teams: Build reusable tools, testing infrastructure, and workflows that allow other product and marketing teams across the company to deploy changes faster and safer.
  • Elevate Engineering Talent: Provide clear goals, facilitate technical design reviews, and give actionable feedback to senior engineers so they can lead projects independently.
  • Solve Systemic Gaps: Partner closely with cross-functional leads and managers to systematically tackle technical debt, tooling deficiencies, and team skill gaps to continuously boost productivity.


Qualifications

  • Experience: 7+ years of experience delivering enterprise-class applications, with a strong focus on backend software development, API design, and robust client/server contracts.
  • Core Languages: Proficiency in mid-tier and backend functional languages, specifically TypeScript, Java , and/or Scala.
  • Architecture & Infrastructure: Deep expertise in designing scalable microservices architectures, messaging patterns, container management (Kubernetes, Docker), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
  • Data & Database Design: Strong experience with relational database schema design, NoSQL, ORM concepts, and high-volume, low-latency data pipelining.
  • AI Integration Capabilities: Proficient in or highly capable of integrating and evaluating functional AI models (e.g., LLM prompting, personalization algorithms) in a production setting.
  • Foundational Excellence: Solid foundation in OOP, algorithms, web application internals, test automation (TDD, unit/integration testing), and CI/CD best practices.
  • Education: BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.


Preferred Qualifications
  • Prior experience working with SaaS platforms or large-scale financial/experimentation platforms.
