Senior Software Engineer II, Backend - Intelligence Team

Who you are

You have 5+ years of backend engineering experience building production systems at scale — you've owned services from design through deployment and have navigated complex distributed systems issues. You possess deep expertise in Java and Python — you've shipped high-throughput APIs that handle millions of requests and have strong opinions on service architecture, dependency injection, and testing strategies. Your experience includes working with machine learning models — you understand how to integrate contextual signals into real-time decisioning systems and enhance user experiences through data-driven solutions. You are a collaborative team player who partners closely with product managers and AI teams to translate user problems into technical solutions, ensuring backend systems genuinely deliver value. You have a passion for mentoring peers and helping them grow in their technical capabilities, fostering a culture of continuous improvement within your team.

Desirable

Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure would be a plus, as would familiarity with data synchronization pipelines and third-party integrations. A background in customer experience or personalization technologies is also desirable, as it aligns with the mission of the Intelligence Team.
