WHAT YOU’LL DO

We’re looking for a Software Engineer for our Platform Infrastructure team. The Platform Infrastructure (PLATI) team is primarily tasked with improving developer productivity and happiness when working on Braze’s core Ruby on Rails monolithic application, primarily by improving foundational components that all other teams rely on for their product development.

You will help us refactor functionality into more isolated components, upgrade and replace foundational dependencies — including figuring out ideal testing strategies to be confident about such far-reaching changes — improve foundational functionality like caching, serialization, and other central features, and improve the performance of foundational systems like async jobs. Outside of the direct code, we will want to reduce costs, improve CI/CD performance and resulting artifact sizes, and many other efforts that impact the entire engineering organization in building features that handle 10s of billions of messages daily!

WHO YOU ARE

  • 1-4+ years of relevant experience with a strong track record of success
  • Have strong and good opinions about how code should be written, as well as good development practices
  • Experience with refactoring legacy codebases into more productive components for large teams or, more broadly, transforming a monolith into “micro” services
  • Excellent communication skills and a user-centric attitude
  • Calm, patient, considerate, compassionate, supportive, and encouraging
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to keep track of multiple streams of work at once
  • Experience with agile processes and tools such as JIRA
  • Beneficial experiences: Ruby on Rails, Jenkins, Buildkite, React, Typescript, Mongo, Redis, Sidekiq / async job queues

WHAT WE OFFER

From comprehensive benefits to remote availability to flexible time off, we’ve got you covered so you can prioritize work-life harmony.

  • Competitive compensation that includes equity
  • Retirement and Employee Stock Purchase Plans
  • Flexible paid time off
  • Comprehensive benefit plans covering medical, dental, vision, life, and disability
