Role
Who you are
- We are looking for someone who demonstrates empathy and sincerity to all roles and teammates
- Our ideal candidate has a strong balance of technical and people skills and is a proven mentor and technical leader
- 7+ years of experience with web technologies
- 5+ years experience of mobile development (iOS, Android)
- Experience with C#/.NET is a big plus
- A passion for developer experience. You provide feedback when you find incorrect docs and aren't afraid to open issues and PRs against open-source repositories
- Opinions and a high bar for software quality and availability, and connect the dots between those metrics and your customers' success
- Ability to engage directly with customers to provide in-depth architectural recommendations when implementing mParticle by Rokt
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, similar technical field of study or equivalent practical experience
What the job involves
- The Developers Tools team is responsible for building world-class tools and experiences on top of mParticle by Rokt’'s APIs
- This team is the public face of the engineering team - releasing all tools as open source and often working directly with developers to build idiomatic libraries for their developer environments
- As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll have the opportunity to rethink mParticle by Rokt's external SDKs and build APIs that other engineers will love and rely on
- You'll also be able to drive the engineering culture through continual research, self-improvement and internal presentation
- Drive the technical and product direction of the Developer Tools team, building multiplatform tools in Kotlin, Swift, and 10+ other languages and platforms for all of mParticle's APIs
- Mentor and lead engineers of all levels to ensure a high bar for code performance and stability, and advocate for critical infrastructure and software quality initiatives
- All mParticle SDKs are open source on Github and continuously deployed, and you'll be an owner of many of these repositories
- Represent the developer voice to the product and broader engineering team
- Define the team's quality and style guidelines, and encourage those guidelines through in-depth code reviews
Application process
- The first stage of the recruitment process for this role is to complete a 15-minute online aptitude test, which will be sent out to your application email. Successful candidates will be contacted to discuss the next steps
Our take
eCommerce marketing company Rokt is helping brands leverage the power of good timing. With Rokt, brands can present their customers with AI-curated offers and messages at every stage in their transaction, at tailored times of the day, or to market themselves at the point of transaction on other major eCommerce sites.
The idea is that “transaction moments” are when shoppers are most inclined to engage further with the brand or its products - the success of Rokt’s clients, and the runaway success of Rokt itself, show that it's successfully cracked it.
Rokt has a strong client base that includes giants like Groupon, GoDaddy, and Disney, and after hitting Unicorn status, it is eyeing up a US IPO. This should come as no surprise - the surge in eCommerce trade over recent years has led to most companies investing in tools to stay competitive.
Rokt has expanded its tool suite since it first started up, and will be focused on continuing to innovate to keep ahead of the MarTech pack, and abreast of changing demand in the rapidly shifting market. The eCommerce marketing tech sector has ballooned to a $120B global operation - Rokt is positioned comfortably to keep ahead.
