Senior Software Engineer, Activate Core

We are looking for a passionate and skilled Senior Software Engineer to join our dynamic team and lead initiatives that will have a profound impact in our Engineering organization. If you are driven by the challenge of improving engineering efficiency, enhancing code quality, and increasing release confidence, this is the perfect opportunity for you. You will play a pivotal role in maturing our engineering practices, directly impacting our ability to deliver value to our customers faster and more reliably. Technologies and tools you'll utilize in this role include Typescript, React, React Native, Node.js, Cypress, GitHub Actions, Datadog, among others.

What you can expect as a Senior Software Engineer: 

As a key member of our engineering team, you will be empowered to tackle some of our most significant technical challenges. You will:

• Directly impact the quality and stability of our products by helping us ship code more reliably and shortening the time it takes to detect and resolve issues in production
• Build and implement a comprehensive suite of automated end-to-end and regression tests to ensure a high-confidence release process
• Work closely with our QA team to bridge the gap between development and testing, ensuring quality is a shared responsibility
• Implement contract testing to ensure seamless and reliable communication between our applications and their internal service dependencies
• Define performance tests for critical user workflows, establishing clear benchmarks and Service Level Objectives (SLOs)
• Coordinate the end-to-end release process for our core product, partnering with engineering teams to ensure smooth deployments and iteratively refining our release strategy as our SDLC matures

What Makes You a Great Fit? 

• Proven, in-depth experience building and maintaining complex applications using TypeScript and popular Javascript frameworks (e.g., React Native)
• Strong hands-on experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress or Playwright), and a knack for writing clean, reliable, and high-confidence tests
• A deep understanding of CI/CD principles and practical experience building and managing pipelines with tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, CircleCI or Jenkins
• Solid grasp of various testing methodologies, including unit, integration, end-to-end, and regression testing
• Experience with modern observability platforms like Datadog, including instrumenting code to send custom metrics and using that data to define and track Service Level Objectives (SLOs)
• A history of working effectively with QA teams and other engineers to build quality into the development process from the start
• The ability to analyze complex systems, identify bottlenecks, and implement effective, scalable solutions
• A data-driven approach to software development, with experience leveraging engineering metrics to identify bottlenecks and drive improvements in the development lifecycle
• Enthusiasm for exploring and applying modern, AI-driven development practices, frameworks and methodologies (e.g., BMAD-METHOD™).
