Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Software Engineer - Email Channel - **Company:** The Customer Company - **Location:** Portland, United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $150,000.0 - $200,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Cloud Computing, Relational Databases, Distributed Systems, Domainkeys Identified Mail, Domain-Based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance (DMARC), MySQL, Queue Management Systems, Datadog, ReactJS, Backend, Rate Limiting, Front End Software Development - **Published:** August 15, 2026 - **Apply:** https://arc.dev/remote-jobs/j/redirect/pb8x9yv57h ## About the Role * 7+ years of experience building scalable, distributed systems in Go (or similar statically typed languages) * Experience building product-facing frontend features in React or similar frameworks, with attention to UX quality and polish * Experience building or consuming APIs that handle high-throughput async workloads - event streams, queues, and systems that degrade gracefully under load * Comfort integrating with external systems you don't control - third-party APIs, rate limits, opaque failure modes - and designing for resilience around them * Comfort working in cloud-native environments (AWS, GCP) * Familiarity with relational databases (we use MySQL primarily) and an understanding of performance tradeoffs * Experience with observability tooling and operating production systems * A bias for action over perfection, and pride in owning technical decisions Nice to have: Familiarity with email infrastructure - deliverability, authentication standards (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), sender reputation, or high-volume sending ## Description Ownership You own problems end to end. You move fast, act like an owner, and thrive in ambiguity. You've led complex projects before, whether officially or not, and you're ready to do it again. Engineers with product taste You think like a user, not just an engineer. You care how your systems power real customer value - and how to make them better. A healthy skepticism for "the way things are done" You bring rigor and creativity. Best practices matter - but never more than forward motion. What You'll Do * Build and evolve the frontend experiences customers use to create, preview, and analyze campaigns - editors, configuration, and analytics dashboards * Design and scale backend systems that process high volumes of messages and events: queue management, retry logic, rate limiting, and real-time event pipelines * Build automated systems that respond intelligently to feedback signals from external providers - classification, suppression, throttling, and health scoring * Partner with in-house domain experts to turn their knowledge into automated tooling - you bring the systems skills, they bring the email depth * Instrument and monitor channel health end to end: signal detection, anomaly alerting, and observability * Own problems end to end - from architecture and schema design to testing, deployment, and monitoring * Share knowledge and raise the bar through short videos, thoughtful writing, and mentorship * Use AI agents to make multi-file changes by scoping the work, writing the prompt, and verifying the output ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Debugging in the Dark](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1658-debugging-in-the-dark) - [MySQL Protocol Features You Should Be Aware Of](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100267-mysql-protocol-features-you-should-be-aware-of) - [The Golden Age of Email: Owning the Inbox in the Age of AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100128-the-golden-age-of-email-owning-the-inbox-in-the-age-of-ai) - [Software Engineering Social Connection: Yubo’s lean approach to scaling an 80M-user infrastructure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1583-software-engineering-social-connection-yubo-s-lean-approach-to-scaling-an-80m-user-infrastructure) - [Coffee with Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/354-coffee-with-developers) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [15 Newsletters Developers Should be Reading](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/293-15-newsletters-developers-should-be-reading) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [React Developer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/198-react-developer-salary-2023)
