WHAT YOU'LL DO

We are seeking a creative and skilled Senior Fullstack Software Engineer to join our dynamic Growth Engineering team in our NYC office. This is a pivotal role for an engineer passionate about building robust, scalable systems and driving technical innovation. You'll be instrumental in architecting and developing solutions that span our public-facing digital footprint, including marketing websites, our learning platform, and documentation, as well as critical internal tooling and cutting-edge AI-driven workflows.

The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker and a hands-on builder, adept at translating complex business needs into elegant and efficient technical solutions. You're not just looking to implement features - you're driven to understand the underlying challenges, design resilient systems, and lead projects from conception to deployment. If you thrive on tackling diverse engineering problems, from optimizing user-facing React/TypeScript interfaces on Next.js to developing LLM and RAG pipelines for advanced search capabilities, this role offers a unique opportunity to make a significant impact. You value collaboration, excel at mentoring junior engineers, and are eager to contribute to the technical direction of impactful projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive core contributions to our Sanity CMS-backed Next.js applications leveraging React, TypeScript, and Algolia to create performant, intuitive, and secure user experiences across Braze's public-facing websites, learning platform, and documentation site
• Design, develop, and maintain internal tooling and backend APIs using Python and Typescript (FastAPI, Express) to enable seamless workflows and improve organizational efficiencies
• Work closely with product, design, marketing, and with various non-technical stakeholders across the business to define requirements, scope projects, and deliver high-impact solutions that align with business objectives
• Evaluate emerging AI technologies to continually improve both developer experience and end-user functionality
• Provide technical leadership, set architectural standards, and guide best practices to ensure high-quality, maintainable, and scalable solutions
• Mentor junior team members through code reviews, pair programming, and design discussions, fostering a culture of collaboration and growth

WHO YOU ARE

• Demonstrated experience as a Fullstack Engineer (or similar role) with a strong track record of designing, building, and deploying complex, impactful systems
• Deep proficiency in React and TypeScript, with significant experience in Next.js. Experience with headless CMS (e.g., Sanity) and deployment platforms (e.g., Vercel) is highly desirable
• Solid experience with backend development, ideally with Python and frameworks like FastAPI. Proven ability to design, build, and maintain robust APIs
• Strong understanding of software architecture principles, design patterns, and best practices for building scalable and maintainable applications
• Demonstrated ability to manage stakeholders and communicate effectively across teams
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proactive approach to identifying and resolving technical challenges
• A team player who thrives in a collaborative environment and is committed to shared success

For candidates based in the United States, the pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between $149,900 and $166,500/year with an expected On Target Earnings (OTE) between $166,500 and $185,000/year (including bonus or commission).
