Senior Software Engineer, Email & Communications Platform

Senior Software Engineer, Email & Communications Platform (Software Engineer III) We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team that owns our email and communications platform — the system responsible for delivering millions of marketing emails on behalf of our dealer network. You'll work across the full stack, building and scaling the infrastructure that powers campaigns, transactional messages, and automated communications that directly drive revenue for our customers. This is a hands‑on engineering role with real ownership. Our platform is in an active modernization phase. You'll be working in a mature codebase that serves real production traffic while incrementally upgrading architecture, tooling, and patterns. That means you need to be comfortable holding two things at once: keeping the lights on for a system dealers depend on today and making deliberate progress toward where the platform needs to be tomorrow. You'll design and implement features end‑to‑end, from database schema and API design through to the UI that internal teams and dealers interact with, while identifying opportunities to retire technical debt and modernize along the way. You'll tackle challenges around deliverability, throughput, sender reputation, and compliance — problems where good engineering decisions have measurable business impact. You'll collaborate closely with product, deliverability specialists, and other engineering teams. We're a remote‑first team that values clear communication, pragmatic technical decisions, and shipping work that matters.
