Extend is revolutionizing the post-purchase experience for retailers and their customers by providing merchants with AI-driven solutions that enhance customer satisfaction and drive revenue growth. The Purchase Experience team needs a technical leader to architect resilient, high-throughput systems for seamless and trustworthy purchasing experiences, scaling to new global markets and product lines.
Requirements
- You have a 10+ year history of building and maintaining critical backend systems where reliability and performance are non-negotiable.
- You think about software from the user's perspective all the way down to the infrastructure it runs on. You're as comfortable discussing API design as you are debating the merits of a database choice.
- Our current stack includes TypeScript, React, and various AWS services, so you'll be able to hit the ground running.
Responsibilities
- Architect for Scale: You'll be instrumental in designing the next evolution of our purchasing APIs, ensuring they can handle Black Friday-level traffic spikes without breaking a sweat.
- Solve Complex Logic Problems: Partner with product and design to map out and build the backend systems for intricate, multi-step purchasing journeys that feel simple and intuitive to the user.
- Drive Future Growth: Figure out how to decouple our core purchasing logic so we can launch in a new country or support a completely new type of product in weeks, not months.
- Elevate the Team: Act as a technical compass for the engineering team, elevating the skills of your colleagues through thoughtful code reviews, mentorship, and clear architectural guidance.
- Build Intelligent Systems: Go beyond simple request-response. Help us design and implement event-driven workflows that can manage complex, long-running processes autonomously.
Other
- You don't just build what's asked; you ask "why" and work with your team to find the simplest, most robust solution to a business problem.
- You thrive in a collaborative environment where you can share your knowledge and learn from others to move faster together.
- Working with a great team from diverse backgrounds in a collaborative and supportive environment.
- Competitive salary based on experience, with full medical and dental & vision benefits.
- Stock in an early-stage startup growing quickly.
