- Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery and improve code quality
What We Look For:

- Demonstrated experience working with Claude or equivalent large language model tools is required; candidates must be comfortable leveraging AI to enhance productivity, research, and communication.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Familiarity with modern Frontend Development, with React experience preferred
- Ability to solve problems with backend-focused languages like Go or similar compiled statically typed language

We’re looking for strong engineers who are eager to learn and grow into these areas:
- Marketing technology platforms: Experience or exposure to tools such as Braze, AppsFlyer, Contentful, or comparable lifecycle messaging, mobile attribution, and headless CMS platforms
- Mobile development: Familiarity with React Native, native iOS/Android development, or mobile SDK integration
- AI tooling & agentic coding: Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate engineering workflows, and openness to incorporating agentic coding patterns into daily work
- Knowledgeable in writing automated tests for applications (unit, integration, endto-end)
- Familiar with the basic principles and design of RESTful APIs
- Basic knowledge of a Microservice Architecture
- Close familiarity with software engineering tools, software development methodology, and release processes
- Experience working with event-driven architectures, message queues, or workflow orchestration tools

About You:
- You have relentlessly high standards - many people may think your standards are unreasonably high. You are continually raising the bar and driving those around you to deliver great results. You make sure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are fixed so they stay fixed.
- You’re not bound by convention - your success—and much of the fun—lies in developing new ways to do things
- You need action - speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk-taking.
- You earn trust - you listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully.
- You have backbone; disagree, then commit - you can respectfully challenge decisions when you disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. You have conviction and are tenacious. You do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, you commit wholly.
- You deliver results - you focus on the key inputs and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, you rise to the occasion and never settle.
