In this role, you'll drive the architecture and development of data-driven, customer-facing features and backend services that power real-time personalization, campaign delivery, and transaction support. Our stack is Ruby on Rails on the backend and Vue.js on the frontend - and we value engineers who lead with strong product instincts, deep technical judgment, and a pragmatic mindset.\nThis is a high-impact opportunity for a senior technical leader who thrives on cross-functional influence, enjoys mentoring engineers at all levels, and wants to make a direct mark in both the MarTech and Payments spaces.
