This hybrid role is based in our New York office, with in-office collaboration Tuesday through Thursday each week.
What You’ll Accomplish
Design, build, and evolve scalable backend services, APIs, and user-facing product capabilities that power Attentive’s onsite growth products
Lead technical design for new features and platform improvements, making thoughtful tradeoffs around reliability, performance, maintainability, and speed of execution
