Senior Software Development Engineer (Social Planner- AI)

The role

You will own features from product spec to production, and build and run distributed systems, data pipelines and media processing for social publishing. The role covers both backend APIs and frontend UI, and includes adding AI into the product.

What you will do

• Own features end to end, from PRD to production to checking results.
• Design and operate reliable distributed systems: message queues, background workers, schedulers and integrations with third-party platform APIs.
• Build data pipelines that gather millions of social data and metrics from many sources, enrich them, and build infrastructure for fast analytics.
• Process media at scale: images and video uploaded, transformed, generated and delivered to every social platform in the format each one expects.
• Ship both the backend APIs and the frontend UI.
• Integrate AI into the product where it makes things better.
• Notice things nobody asked you to fix, and fix them.

Required qualifications

• 4+ years building and operating production distributed systems.
• Experience with large-scale data engineering: ingestion, ETL/ELT, data warehousing (ClickHouse, BigQuery, Snowflake or similar), and analytics over billions of rows.
• Strong fundamentals in any language. The team writes TypeScript (Node.js, NestJS, Vue.js).
• Customer-first mindset. You start from the problem, not the tech.
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development. You use AI coding tools daily, can explain your workflow and stand behind the output.
• Genuine passion for software. You follow the industry and want to grow as fast as the product does.

Nice to have

• Social listening, NLP or sentiment analysis experience.
