Mailchimp’s Experience Platform team is responsible for the underlying architecture and tools common across all of Mailchimp’s UI to deliver a performant, delightful, and accessible web application to our users. Experience Platform supports everything from our frontend development and deployment pipelines (bundlers, linters, test-runners) to the code at runtime that powers the feature layer (networking, routing, feature-flagging, data-marshaling, observability).

To support this mission, Experience Platform is hiring a Senior Engineer to elevate their strong and supportive team.The ideal candidate understands the in-browser infrastructure necessary to run a modern web application. They have experience iteratively adopting new technology in a large codebase and organizations and experience building performant frontend infrastructure that scales. They are kind and approachable, people trust their judgment and reach out when they have questions. They are proactive about helping to grow more junior engineers and are a force multiplier, leveling up everyone they work with.

They are able to determine which pieces of a system are high risk and mitigate those risks preemptively. They do not shy away from addressing significant technical debt, and are always thinking about how to improve the codebase overall. They approach their work from a problems-first orientation, ensuring the most important problems are being solved. They think deeply about tradeoffs when evaluating potential solutions. They can plan and execute system-wide changes with high confidence.

Intuit Mailchimp is a hybrid workplace, giving employees the opportunity to collaborate in person with team members in our Atlanta or New York offices two or more days per week.
