With our growing customer base and our expansion into new markets and use cases, we have more to build than ever at Affinity as we execute on our vision to put relationship intelligence at every professional's fingertips.

As a Senior Software Engineer I on the Sourcing team, you'll have the opportunity to push the boundaries of a brand new product within our space. You'll define the future of core pieces of our backend across areas like our data model and apis. From back-end algorithms to async workers to scalable applications, you'll hone your skills across multiple domains while helping to drive forward the Affinity Sourcing product and vision.

In this role, you will:

  • Be hands on and in the code for the core areas of our product, iterating on current data models and apis with performance and scalability in mind for current and future usage
  • Act as a Tech Lead for large projects, collaborating closely with product to define the project scope and milestones, defining the technical direction, decomposing work to distribute across the team, and being accountable for outcomes
  • Collaborate across team boundaries and with product, design, and data teams--you'll have the opportunity to learn from a wide variety of experiences and, of course, to share your own
  • Proactively identify areas for technical investment within the team, be aligned with and help define the technical roadmap across engineering to adapt to changing needs of the business and our customers
