Desirable

• We’re seeking a Staff Software Engineer, Enterprise Integration to help design and build the core integration and API platforms that connect Brooklinen’s enterprise applications, data, and enterprise systems, with a focus on supporting robust, scalable Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) commerce at scale. This is a hands-on engineering role with significant architectural influence, focused on building robust, scalable, and secure software systems
• This role is ideal for a seasoned engineer who enjoys solving complex distributed systems and integration problems, writing production-grade code, and shaping long-term platform architecture. This includes tackling the complexity of integrating core DTC platforms like Shopify and NetSuite (ERP), 3PL, etc.
• As a Staff Software Engineer, you will be a senior technical contributor responsible for designing, building, and operating cloud-native integration services and APIs (both AWS and iPaaS). You will work closely with engineering, data, and enterprise teams to deliver API-first and event-driven architectures
• Design, build, and operate cloud-native microservices on AWS, Heroku, and iPaaS (like Boomi) to support enterprise integrations and APIs
• Write high-quality, production-grade software in Java, Kotlin, and/or Python, applying proven software engineering patterns and best practices
• Architect and implement event-driven and asynchronous systems using messaging and streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka or AWS-native equivalents)
• Apply distributed systems and integration patterns (e.g., idempotency, retries, backpressure, eventual consistency) to build resilient services
• Design API-first services that expose well-defined domain capabilities for commerce, data, and enterprise consumers
• Design and implement reliable data pipelines to centralize commerce, ERP, and marketing data into our analytics warehouse (Snowflake) for reporting and business intelligence
• Deeply integrate core commerce and ERP platforms (Shopify and NetSuite) using custom services and Shopify Functions (e.g., Cart Transform API, Discounts) to maintain order and inventory data integrity
• Collaborate with marketing and product teams to integrate and operationalize core customer engagement tools, such as Attentive and personalization engines (e.g., Dynamic Yield or replacements)
• Design systems with strong emphasis on observability, fault tolerance, security, and operational excellence
• Participate in architecture and design reviews, influencing microservices and event-driven architecture standards
• Design and manage data persistence layers, selecting appropriate database technologies based on access patterns and scale
• Mentor junior engineers and elevate practices in system design, code quality, and reliability engineering
• Drive DevOps best practices including CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and automated testing within the Enterprise Integrations domain
