About the Role
The Connect team is building an integrations platform from scratch using a declarative approach. As a Software Engineer on this team, you will implement connectors as declarative specs, build services that talk to third-party APIs, and work on the platform infrastructure that makes integrations reliable. You will also build features in the React and TypeScript frontend, carrying features from API to interface without a handoff. The role suits engineers who want to grow their backend skills on real infrastructure problems, are comfortable working across the stack, and care about shipping well-built software.
Responsibilities
- Implement integrations as declarative specs and build the backend services that execute them.
- Work with OAuth flows, webhook ingestion, rate limiting, and retries.
- Debug failures in systems the team does not control.
- Work with connection management, sync state, and workflow execution where correctness matters more than speed.
- Build features end to end, including the React and TypeScript frontend, and keep frontend patterns coherent as the product matures.
- Contribute to design discussions, ask good questions about tradeoffs, and develop judgment for when simple solutions outperform clever ones.
- Take on well-scoped projects, deliver them end to end, and expand scope as confidence with the platform builds.
- Engage in code reviews and design discussions, give and receive feedback, and help the team maintain high engineering quality.
Requirements
- 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent building backend systems
- Backend engineering experience in Python, with the ability to read and contribute to a FastAPI codebase.
- Familiarity with integrating external APIs: making HTTP calls, handling authentication, parsing responses, and dealing with errors gracefully
- Solid SQL fundamentals: writing queries, designing schemas, and reasoning about how data flows through a system
- Exposure to asynchronous patterns such as task queues or background workers
- Full-stack capability: have shipped production UI in React with TypeScript and can own a feature end to end, including its interface
- Willingness to work through ambiguity and ask for help when needed
- Clear written and verbal communication
- Required to work on-site 3x a week in our Miami office (Coral Gables).
