NewsBreak is the best local source for news, videos, and information on safety, accidents, sports, business, celebrity updates, stock market trends, and more.
About the role
In a two-sided marketplace, nearly every commitment made to a customer or a provider is delivered as a message: confirmations, time-sensitive notifications to professionals, outcome follow-ups that feed our quality measurement, shared summaries for family members, and longer-horizon engagement. Because consumer messaging in our category is regulated, the platform that sends these messages is also the system that enforces consent, preferences, and suppression.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of backend software engineering, including ownership of a messaging, notification, or lifecycle platform
- Operated that platform at meaningful scale, millions of messages per month, across at least two of email, SMS, and push
- Designed event-driven systems with explicit idempotency, retry, and deduplication guarantees, and carried on-call responsibility for them
- Shipped within a consent or privacy regime such as TCPA, CAN-SPAM, GDPR, or CCPA, where the system, not a policy document, enforced the rules
- Hands-on production experience with a major messaging provider or platform (for example Twilio, SendGrid, Braze, Iterable, Customer.io, or an in-house equivalent), and clear judgment about build versus buy
- Strong proficiency in at least one of Go, Java, Kotlin, Python, or TypeScript, plus SQL
