Role
Who you are
- Fluency in modern JavaScript/TypeScript and experience with technologies such as React, Node.js, or other modern frameworks
- Hands-on experience integrating with third-party APIs and platforms: OAuth and token lifecycle management, webhooks, rate limiting and backoff, pagination, versioning, and graceful degradation when an upstream service fails
- 5+ years building and shipping large-scale production software as part of an agile engineering team
- Strong track record of designing and delivering scalable, high-performance systems
- An outcome-oriented and highly-experimental interest in AI-driven development practices
- Proven experience planning technical projects and delivering new systems and features iteratively, with a focus on delivering value to customers quickly
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, able to lead technical discussions and navigate trade-offs effectively
- Experience working in high-growth, fast-paced environments or startups is a plus
- Experience building against Microsoft Teams or Office add-in SDKs, or shipping through a partner marketplace or app review process
- Experience designing and maintaining a public developer API
- Experience with Python
- Familiarity with secure file handling at scale, including permissions checks, malware scanning, and content validation on upload
- Experience with content migration or format conversion between products, and the fidelity problems that come with i
What the job involves
- As a Senior Software Engineer on the Integrated Workflows team, you'll own significant parts of how Mural connects to the outside world
- You'll design and build integrations that are reliable, secure, and genuinely used, and you'll turn one-off connector work into integration platform capabilities the rest of the company can build on
- This role sits at the intersection of product and platform
- You'll work directly against third-party APIs and SDKs with all the ambiguity that entails: shifting contracts, rate limits, auth models, partner review processes
- At the same time you'll keep our own abstractions clean and our public API stable for the developers who depend on it
- Senior Engineers at Mural lead, design, and implement complex technical projects, contribute to team and company-wide processes and culture, and provide mentorship and support for early-career colleagues
- Build and evolve two-way sync with the systems of record where customer work lives (Jira, Linear, Asana, and others), so decisions made on the canvas become tracked work and stay in sync as that work changes
- Design, build, and maintain integrations across the Microsoft ecosystem (Teams, Outlook, Office), video conferencing platforms, and third-party notification targets such as Slack and Teams
- Build and evolve the integration platform: the shared frameworks, services, and patterns other Mural teams use to ship their own connected experiences
- Own the content pathways in and out of Mural, including the import and image panels, third-party image APIs such as Unsplash, copy/paste to and from outside Mural, file upload handling, iFrame embedding, self-serve PDF to Mural conversion, and Mural exports and downloads
- Partner across teams on shared boundaries and hold up your side of those contracts, including render for exports, the notification engine, and company-level migration
- Maintain and support our public API for existing third-party developers, with the backwards-compatibility discipline a published interface demands
- Lead projects end to end, from research, design, and POC through execution, release, and iteration
- Build flexible and maintainable solutions while being accountable for quality, performance, reliability, and the security posture of everything crossing our system boundary
- Use AI tools as part of your fundamental workflows
- Design, plan, and implement automated testing and documentation strategies, including for the failure modes that only show up when someone else's API misbehaves
- Elevate the team's skills and knowledge by participating in technical designs and talks, and by reviewing and helping improve your and your colleagues' code
- Contribute to constantly improving the team's processes and best practices
Our take
Mural is a virtual collaboration platform that caters both to the increasing demand for visual work methods and the shift towards remote working. Functioning more like a team- or business-wide whiteboard than a chat room, it is part of a developing trend away from single-channel platforms like Slack and towards a more integrated collaborative workspace.
Founded in 2011, Mural is an early entrant in an increasingly crowded field which includes rivals such as Gather and Tandem. However, it stands out with the flexibility of its approach to multi-functional virtual spaces and range of integrations. This has allowed it to gather a large customer base in a diverse range of companies including IBM, Autodesk and SAP.
The company boasts strong development, securing multiple funding rounds early in its journey that grew its valuation beyond $2 billion. It has since successfully found a more mature direction through leadership changes and a rebrand, continue its growth in a new phase for the company.
