About The Role

Join our Behavioral team as a Lead Backend Developer, where you'll be responsible for turning raw customer signals into meaningful marketing triggers. This hands-on technical leadership role involves shaping the technical direction of our platform, designing systems, writing code, reviewing implementation, mentoring engineers, and unblocking the team on complex technical problems. You'll work on challenging distributed systems problems and help build the behavioral intelligence layer of our platform.

  • Contribuer directement au travail à fort impact en matière de conception, de mise en œuvre, de révision de code, de débogage et de support à la production.
  • Aider à définir la vision technique, les limites du système et l'architecture des services qui transforment les signaux d'activité des clients en événements déclencheurs exploitables.
  • Fournir des conseils techniques au quotidien, débloquer les ingénieurs, examiner les conceptions et le code, et aider à élever le niveau technique de l'équipe.
  • A collaborative, product-minded approach to platform engineering — balancing technical quality with customer value and delivery momentum
  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong track record of building and operating backend or platform systems in production
  • Experience translating ambiguous product goals into pragmatic technical designs and incremental execution plans
  • Familiarity with systems that process high-volume event data, such as event stream processing, behavioral analytics, pub/sub systems, workflow systems, rule engines, or decisioning engines
  • Strong architectural judgment around stateful services, real-time or near-real-time decisioning, asynchronous processing, system reliability, and production operations
  • A strong focus on operational excellence — building reliable systems with monitoring, alerting, logging, tracing, incident response, and shared ownership of on-call responsibilities for business-critical services
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems concerns such as retries, duplicate events, ordering, late-arriving data, idempotency, backfills, partial failures, tenancy, and data consistency tradeoffs
  • Significant experience designing and operating distributed, event-driven, or high-scale backend systems
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to translate technical tradeoffs into practical decisions with Product, Design, engineering partners, and business stakeholders
  • Experience building scalable backend services in cloud environments, preferably Google Cloud Platform
  • Hands-on technical leadership experience: you are comfortable being the go-to person for unblocking, reviewing, mentoring, and leading complex technical initiatives end-to-end
  • If you’re excited about the role but don’t meet all of the abovementioned qualifications, we encourage you to apply
