About the role
- The domain that tracks eligibility, entitlement, and fulfillment state for incentive rewards.
- This is a high-ownership, systems-first role within the team.
- You'll set technical direction for a platform that's mid-consolidation.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical direction for the Incentive Platform. Carve a dedicated domain out of its current home, with enforced boundaries and a facade other services call instead of reaching into internals.
- Negotiate and build the technical contract with Fulfillment: idempotent order creation, failure handling, real-time inventory, and reserve/release semantics. You're the technical counterparty other teams negotiate with, not just an implementer of their asks.
- Partner with product, design, and analytics to define what to build and why, balancing short-term wins with long-term platform leverage.
- Raise the engineering bar by driving code quality, system design standards, observability, and technical decision-making on the team.
- Participate in the team's weekly on-call rotation, helping ensure the reliability and timely support of the systems we build.
- Own the technical direction for the Incentive Platform.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree (or foreign equivalent) in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including meaningful time working on production systems at scale.
- Production migration experience - You've run a dual-write/backfill/cutover on a real data model, ideally with financial or compliance stakes where getting it wrong is expensive.
- Production migration experience
Nice to have
- Experience designing or evolving incentive, rewards, ledger, or entitlement systems that carry real financial or compliance stakes.
- Experience running a production data migration (dual-write, backfill, cutover) without a maintenance window, on a system where correctness during the transition mattered.
- Proven experience setting technical direction for a team, owning architectural decisions, and driving high-quality execution in partnership with product and data science.
- Prior work at a consumer growth-focused company (for example, e-commerce, marketplaces, or consumer apps) and/or experience with viral or referral growth mechanics.
- High ownership, low bureaucracy - this team moves quickly and ships iteratively while maintaining high technical standards.
- Greenfield technical challenges - including scaling referral infrastructure, integrating personalization, and evolving experimentation capabilities as member volume grows.
- The San Francisco office has a dog-friendly workplace program.
- The company is headquartered in San Francisco with additional offices in Montreal and Bangalore.
