Role
Who you are
- You're motivated by high ownership and comfortable in a fast-paced, startup environment. You don't need to already know how to do everything in this role. We are primarily looking for smart, motivated people who want to grow into the work
- That said, useful experience includes any of the following:
- Native development across iOS, Android, or React Native, with enthusiasm for working across all of them and learning what you don't already know
- Shipping an SDK or library that other developers integrated into their own applications
- Designing systems that span a server, a network, and a client, where the same problem looks different on each side and the contract between them matters as much as the code
What the job involves
- We are looking for a software engineer to help us build the SDKs, on-device experiences, and backend systems that power how marketers reach their customers inside native apps and on the web
- This is a foundational role
- You'll be one of the first engineers on this surface area and you'll have a strong hand in shaping how we design our SDKs, what they expose to host applications, and how they integrate with the rest of the Hightouch platform
- We give our engineers high ownership and autonomy
- You will own and deliver projects start to finish, work directly with customers integrating our SDKs into their apps, and have real influence over what we build
- Building a great SDK requires reasoning about the full round-trip between the device and our backend: how events are collected, how eligibility is evaluated, how messages are delivered, and how the host application renders them
- You'll co-design the API and backend alongside the rest of the team
- Cross-channel orchestration on-device. Deciding what a user sees, on which device, at which moment, without channels stepping on each other or one user getting hit five times in a session
- In-app messaging and custom UX. Custom messaging and on-device experiences triggered while a user is active in a customer's app. The SDK evaluates eligibility locally against rules pushed down from our backend
- Behavioral data collection. Custom events, screen views, and user attributes batched on-device and shipped to our backend to feed real-time targeting
- SDK developer experience. Clear init, sane defaults, useful errors, and docs that respect the host engineer's time. Versioning and distribution that doesn't break customer app builds
