Software Engineer, Virality and Activation

Responsibilities

• Build and iterate on backend systems that power core activation features — onboarding, sharing, invite flows, and notification pipelines
• Instrument new features with analytics events to measure funnel conversion and user behavior, in close collaboration with data partners
• Participate in A/B experiments: support test setup, interpret results, and help translate findings into product decisions
• Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code that your teammates can build confidently on top of
• Contribute actively to design reviews, sprint planning, and team retrospectives
• Surface and address problems in existing systems — not just within your assigned scope

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 2–4 years of backend software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping user-facing features
• Working experience with Python and a backend web framework such as Django
• Familiar with relational databases (MySQL or similar) and has some exposure to NoSQL or high-performance data stores such as DynamoDB, Cassandra, or Redis — and understands when to reach for each
• Some exposure to cloud infrastructure, ideally AWS (EC2, S3, or similar services)
• Some exposure to product analytics or A/B testing, and is eager to develop deeper fluency
• Thinks about user outcomes alongside technical correctness when making engineering decisions
• Communicates clearly and works well across functions — with product, design, and data partners
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and making progress without a fully-specified design
