element451 - Senior Software Engineer, Integrations

• 5+ years of software engineering, including senior-level work on data integrations or backend services in a complex, multi-tenant SaaS product. • Strong, current Python for production data pipelines and integration services. • Solid MongoDB — data modeling and query performance across flexible, document-oriented schemas at multi-tenant scale (~140 client integrations). • Distributed systems — async, queue-driven architectures and the realities of partial failure, retries, idempotency, eventual consistency, and backpressure. • Third-party API integrations (Student Information Systems, Stripe, PayPal, Google, Outlook) — auth, pagination, rate limits, and graceful handling of unreliable upstreams. • AWS-hosted environments (secrets management, SQS, workflow orchestration), and comfort in an async-first, PR-based team with rotating production-reliability ownership. • Automated testing across layers, plus sound AI judgment — production experience with OpenAI APIs or comparable LLM platforms is a plus. • Deep, current fluency with agentic AI development tooling (Claude Code, Codex, or comparable), and excellent written communication that stands on its own. • OUR INTERVIEW PROCESS • Our process is rigorous and designed to be a real signal. Expect live sessions with our engineers where you’ll demonstrate your work and reasoning in real time, including how you apply AI tooling. We move quickly for the right people.
