Senior Backend Developer, Campaigns Team

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Campaigns team, which builds the infrastructure that lets marketers create, schedule, and deliver messages across multiple channels on our platform. Join us to make your mark on a fast-growing team, take ownership of innovative projects, and work closely with cross-functional partners to build a product that marketing teams rely on daily.

This is a hands-on role where you will contribute to the architecture and implementation of critical platform capabilities. You'll design robust systems, write high-quality code, and ensure our services are scalable, reliable, and maintainable. The systems you help build power core campaign capabilities like audience targeting, multi-channel content assembly, and reliable scheduling for one-time, recurring, or triggered campaigns.
