About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to help build our marketing and customer engagement platform. In this role, you'll design and develop data-driven, customer-facing features and backend services that power real-time personalization, campaign delivery, and transaction support. Our stack is Ruby on Rails on the backend and Vue.js on the frontend — and we value engineers who lead with strong product instincts, deep technical judgment, and a pragmatic mindset.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced engineer who enjoys owning features end-to-end, collaborating closely with cross-functional partners, and mentoring less-experienced teammates, with room to grow into broader technical leadership. We believe the best engineers today are fluent in AI — comfortable using AI-assisted development tools and thoughtful about how AI capabilities can be woven into product features and platform experiences.
This is a hybrid role based out of our Broomfield, Colorado office.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful full-stack scope.

• Track record of owning and delivering complex features or projects end-to-end.
• Strong RESTful API design experience, including versioning, authentication, and third-party integrations.

• Ability to participate in technical discussions and contribute to architectural decisions.
• Experience mentoring junior or mid-level engineers and contributing to a culture of technical excellence.
• Familiarity with marketing or customer engagement platforms — campaign management, personalization engines, A/B testing, or equivalent — is a plus.
• Good communication skills: able to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience with agile development methodologies and working within cross-functional product teams.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) and interest in evaluating where AI/ML capabilities can be integrated into product features.

Nice To Haves

• Experience integrating LLM APIs (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI) or building AI-powered product features.

• AWS experience, including deploying and scaling cloud-based applications.
• Hands-on experience with OpenSearch for search or analytics.
• Use of Redis for caching, session management, or background jobs.
• Exposure to Kafka or similar messaging systems in high-throughput environments.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to architecture and design discussions for key platform initiatives, and help establish and follow sound engineering patterns.
• Support the growth of junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, design feedback, and pairing.
• Identify and drive improvements to backend and frontend performance, and help raise the bar for code quality, testing, security, and observability.
• Partner with Product, Design, and Customer Success to translate business problems into sound technical solutions that deliver measurable outcomes.
• Leverage AI-assisted tooling to accelerate delivery, and contribute ideas on where AI capabilities can add genuine value to the product.
