Software Engineer II, Strategic Integrations

Attentive is the AI marketing platform for 1:1 personalization redefining the way brands and people connect. The Senior Software Engineer will focus on building and operating critical partner integrations, improving system quality, and migrating legacy systems to more modern platforms.

Responsibilities:

• Lead platform quality improvements that unlock faster, safer integration delivery
• Migrate existing integrations onto a more standardized model
• Make end-to-end data traceability real
• Deliver data visibility as a first-class experience
• Improve contract safety and testability
• Harden vendor API resilience and upgradeability
• Design for failure and recovery
• Partner across engineering and product

Requirements:

• Significant professional experience building and operating backend/distributed systems, with a track record of improving reliability, observability, and operational quality (not just shipping features)
• Demonstrated experience migrating legacy systems to new platforms through safe, incremental approaches (e.g., compatibility layers, measured cutovers, staged rollouts), not only 'rewrite' projects
• Strong debugging ability across service boundaries, including designing systems so issues are diagnosable (metrics/logs/traces, correlation IDs, clear error surfaces)
• Experience integrating with third-party APIs at scale (auth, pagination, vendor limitations, rate limits) and building resilient ingestion/export patterns
• Strong engineering fundamentals (system design, data modeling, APIs, testing strategy), and the judgment to balance pragmatism with long-term maintainability
• Proficiency in a modern backend language; our ecosystem includes typed backend services (commonly Java/Kotlin)
• Comfort collaborating cross-functionally (product, design, partnerships/support, platform teams), and willingness to lead through influence: writing proposals, running design reviews, leveling up patterns and templates
