Role
Who you are
- We prioritize strong engineering fundamentals, practical systems thinking, and the ability to use modern AI tooling thoughtfully
- You do not need to have used our exact stack, but you should be comfortable learning deeply, working in shared codebases, and building tools other engineers depend on
- Strong software engineering fundamentals in Scala, Java, Kotlin, or another production language; able to read, modify, test, and review service code in a large shared codebase
- Experience with build systems, dependency management, CI, or test infrastructure; familiarity with Bazel, SBT, Maven, Gradle, GitHub Actions, or similar systems is valuable
- Ability to debug complex build, test, and developer workflow failures and turn repeated issues into clear fixes, tooling, documentation, or automation
- Product-minded approach to developer experience; you care about usability, feedback loops, adoption, and whether platform changes actually make engineers faster and more confident
- Comfortable using AI tools such as Cursor, Claude, or similar systems for real engineering work, including codebase exploration, migration support, test generation, CI triage, and agent orchestration
- Good judgment about AI-assisted automation: able to break complex tasks into plans, prompts, verification steps, and review loops with appropriate human oversight and safety guardrails
- Clear communicator who can work with service teams, explain trade-offs, keep stakeholders informed, and make progress in ambiguous technical areas
What the job involves
- As a Software Engineer II on the Developer Platform Team, you will help improve the Scala, Bazel, and CI foundations that Iterable engineers use every day to build, test, and ship services
- Your work will make the codebase easier to change, the build graph easier to reason about, and CI more reliable under real production-scale usage
- This is a hands-on engineering role for someone with a solid programming background who enjoys working close to the codebase, build system, and developer workflow
- You will independently own moderate-complexity projects, contribute directly to the Bazel build platform, core Scala libraries shared by services, and partner with product engineering teams to turn recurring developer pain into durable platform improvements
- You will also help shape how Iterable uses AI-assisted and agentic engineering practices to make complex development work faster, safer, and more repeatable
- Improve the core developer workflow: Build and refine the systems engineers use to compile, test, package, and validate their changes with confidence
- Contribute to shared engineering foundations: Work on common libraries, frameworks, build patterns, and service development practices that many teams rely on
- Make CI faster and more reliable: Help improve the feedback loops that keep development moving while preserving quality and release confidence
- Create leverage for product engineers: Turn recurring developer pain points into durable tools, documentation, automation, and platform improvements
- Apply AI to real engineering problems: Use tools like Cursor, Claude, and agent-based workflows to accelerate complex platform work, automate repetitive tasks, and create safer developer experiences
- Partner across engineering: Collaborate with service teams to understand their needs, support adoption, and make the paved path easier to use over time
Our take
Iterable is a growth marketing platform that enables brands to create, execute and optimize cross-channel campaigns. The company aims to complement and support marketers in creating effective user engagement campaigns throughout the sales funnel, and across all channels.
The global omnichannel retail commerce platform market is huge, and the opportunity within this sector has bought with it considerable competition for Iterable. Despite this, the company has firmly established a name for itself and now has over 1000 customers (including DoorDash, Fender, Calm, Box, and Cars.com).
After raising significant funding in 2021, and a change in leadership that same year, Iterable has invested in several sales-focused AI technologies in order to appeal to enterprise companies. In 2025 it achieved the feat of surpassing one trillion customer interactions, demonstrating that its momentum is still very strong.
