We’re looking for a highly driven Senior Software Engineer to join our Streaming team, which powers the backbone of Attentive’s messaging and personalization platform.

- Solve complex distributed systems challenges: Improve event delivery reliability, cost efficiency, and system integration for real-time and batch workloads
- Champion best practices and technology selection: Stay ahead of industry advancements in event streaming, advocating for tools and approaches that balance innovation with long-term reliability
- Collaborate across engineering: Partner with product, data, and infrastructure teams to launch new customer-facing features, integrations, and scalable solutions built on streaming infrastructure
- 5+ years experience architecting and supporting high-throughput, distributed systems at scale—especially those involving event streaming or messaging platforms
