About the Role The Strategic Integrations team builds and operates ecosystem-critical partner integrations that enable enterprise-grade omni-channel marketing use cases. Integrations are foundational to Attentive’s evolution from an SMS-first product toward a modern omni-channel platform: they power personalization, retention, and expansion, and they are table-stakes in enterprise evaluations. In 2026, we’re pivoting from “building integrations” to building an integrations platform model that is standardized, observable, extensible, and competitive. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who has deep experience improving system quality and thoughtfully migrating legacy systems to better platforms—without breaking customers, support workflows, or downstream dependencies. What You’ll Accomplish Lead platform quality improvements that unlock faster, safer integration delivery. Build durable, reusable engineering systems (frameworks, libraries, templates) rather than one-off solutions, aligned with our principle to “build with quality before speed.” Migrate existing integrations onto a more standardized model. Drive incremental, observable migration plans that reduce risk, preserve backwards compatibility where needed, and avoid “silent breakage,” consistent with our focus on versioned contracts and explicit migrations. Make end-to-end data traceability real. Address today’s gaps where tracing a datapoint can take days of cross-team coordination; evolve the system so engineers can trace acquisition → ingestion quickly and confidently. Deliver data visibility as a first-class experience. Build/run capabilities like real-time logs, historical ingestion progress, and payload-level debugging tools—so customers and internal teams can understand data flow and integration health without guesswork. Improve contract safety and testability. Reduce manual E2E testing by investing in reusable vendor payload fixtures/scripts and contract tests that reflect canonical downstream expectations. Harden vendor API resilience and upgradeability. Reduce weeks-long cleanups from vendor API changes by improving API contract management, test coverage, and (where appropriate) generated models/boilerplate reduction. Design for failure and recovery. Vendor APIs will rate-limit, error, and change; you’ll build resilient patterns for retries, idempotency, backoff, and partial failure. Partner across engineering and product. Collaborate with Integrations Core and downstream domain teams to evolve paved paths, canonical models, and platform capabilities—so integration engineers stop reinventing the same infrastructure problems.
