Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer, Social Commerce

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building cross-platform purchase flows, social gifting experiences, and commerce surfaces that meet users where they already are — in voice, in chat, on mobile.
• Collaborating with the other engineers on your team to write, review, and ship elegant and scalable code. You take pride in the fact that your code will be used by millions and millions of people!
• Leading projects through the whole life cycle: scoping, designing, building, shipping, and iterating based on experiment results.
• Working directly with game studio partners to understand their needs, answer technical questions, and improve the tools we build for them.
• Collaborating closely with product, design, and game developers to cut through ambiguity on a product where the playbook is still being written.
• Working with product managers, designers, and partner managers to cut through ambiguity and find the way forward.
• Using your attention to detail to continually raise the quality bar of the software we write.

What you should have:

• 5+ years experience as a software engineer.
• Expertise with at least a couple parts of our tech stack: Python, Typescript/React, Elixir, Rust being the main areas. You are comfortable switching across stacks or learning new ones.
• You have a sense for product and design. We don’t operate in silos, and you’ll be collaborating closely with cross-functional peers. You should be able to express opinions and collaborate to make something great.
• Comfort with ambiguity and experimentation. This team ships A/B tests, reads results, and changes direction. You should be someone who thrives in that environment rather than waiting for a fully-baked spec.
• You actively leverage AI coding tools to accelerate your productivity.

[Optional] Bonus Points

• Experience with game development.
• Experience with mobile development.
• Experience leveraging a cloud platform (GCP, Amazon, or Azure) to serve as the backend infrastructure for a product.
