About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our IAM team, which is responsible for building and scaling one of Braze's core messaging channels in in-app messages, as well as owning several cross-channel message building features used across the entire Braze product. We own the message definition, composition, journey-building, and analytics for IAMs, including a feature-rich dashboard that allows our customers to compose messages and a highly parallelized platform for sending and processing IAM-related events at scale. The IAM team is also responsible for Landing Pages, a new feature at Braze which lets customers build websites which integrate with Braze's messaging services. As a senior engineer on the team, you will work with us to build out new features, improve performance, and provide guidance on key architectural decisions. You will have the opportunity to tackle significant engineering challenges, such as architecting new iterations of critical components for our systems and optimizing our systems for resilience as they scale. We greatly value colleagues who help make us better engineers and are excited, in turn, to learn from us. If that's you, we'd love to hear from you!
