Senior Software Engineer, Strategic Integrations

Attentive is an AI marketing platform that focuses on 1:1 personalization, redefining how brands connect with customers. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer for their Strategic Integrations team to improve system quality and migrate legacy systems to enhance integration delivery and performance.

Responsibilities:

• Lead platform quality improvements that unlock faster, safer integration delivery
• Migrate existing integrations onto a more standardized model
• Make end-to-end data traceability real
• Deliver data visibility as a first-class experience
• Improve contract safety and testability
• Harden vendor API resilience and upgradeability
• Design for failure and recovery
• Partner across engineering and product

Requirements:

• Significant professional experience building and operating backend/distributed systems, with a track record of improving reliability, observability, and operational quality (not just shipping features)
• Demonstrated experience migrating legacy systems to new platforms through safe, incremental approaches (e.g., compatibility layers, measured cutovers, staged rollouts), not only 'rewrite' projects
• Strong debugging ability across service boundaries, including designing systems so issues are diagnosable (metrics/logs/traces, correlation IDs, clear error surfaces)
• Experience integrating with third-party APIs at scale (auth, pagination, vendor limitations, rate limits) and building resilient ingestion/export patterns
• Strong engineering fundamentals (system design, data modeling, APIs, testing strategy), and the judgment to balance pragmatism with long-term maintainability
• Proficiency in a modern backend language; our ecosystem includes typed backend services (commonly Java/Kotlin)
• Comfort collaborating cross-functionally (product, design, partnerships/support, platform teams), and willingness to lead through influence: writing proposals, running design reviews, leveling up patterns and templates
