About the Opportunity

Salsify pioneered the first Product Experience Management (PXM) platform to help brand manufacturers win more sales, and grow market share online. We work with a growing roster of hundreds of leading brands across the globe including Coca-Cola, Bosch, GSK, Rawlings, and Fruit of the Loom. We’ve come a long way since starting in a Boston basement in late 2012, and now have great, happy customers across the entire supply chain, from brands to distributors to retailers to marketplaces.

We're looking for talented and passionate developers who want to be part of joining our growing teams. We already have a very experienced, solid team that we want to take to the next step in scaling and making even more successful.

As a Senior Software Engineer at Salsify you will be entrusted to innovate and constantly improve our products to deliver a platform and experience our customers love to use. You will solve complex business and scalability problems and help define the direction of the product as well as work across the entire Salsify technology ecosystem building and maintaining back-end services and APIs in Ruby and Python, interacting directly with Retailers, Marketplaces and E-Commerce platforms like Amazon, Walmart, BigCommerce, Shopify and much more. Our engineers are simultaneously scaling a demanding application while simplifying complex business processes for our users and learning from top engineers along the way.

We deeply value our engineering culture. We strongly emphasize clarity, competence and autonomy. We care about building the right thing, the right way, and having fun while we do it. Every member of our team has the freedom and responsibility to make Salsify a great place to work.

 

How You'll Make an Impact:

  • Build and ship production-grade software using some of the following technologies:
    • Ruby, 
    • PostgreSQL, Redis
    • AWS
    • Kubernetes
  • Set technical direction and help define the technical approach for the work the team takes on.
  • Work closely with product and engineering management to help define the product roadmap.
  • Collaborate with go-to-market teams to launch new functionality.
  • Grow as a leader both on the team and within the broader engineering organization.

You'll Enjoy This Role If You Have:

  • Experience building consumer facing applications in a SaaS or product-based company, specializing in back-end development
  • Experience with contemporary frameworks, build tools, and testing tools
