Join the team as our next Software Engineer - Audiences & Journeys
 
 
About the job
Segment is a best-in-class customer data platform (CDP) designed with engineers, marketers, and product managers in mind. We’re excited to work at the cutting edge of data and artificial intelligence, such as with our AI-Assisted Suggest Mappings product. And, we move a lot of data - over 12 trillion API calls a year.
 
This position is needed to build and scale APIs to enable Twilio developers to unlock best-in-class personalized customer experiences through the Twilio Audiences & Journeys products. As a Software Engineer on the team, you will collaborate closely with product management, architecture, and other engineering teams to design APIs, identify performance bottlenecks, and data models, and drive system-level improvements that enhance both developer velocity and customer experience. You’ll be expected to evaluate and communicate trade-offs between feature velocity, system stability, and technical debt, and help drive architectural decisions that ensure long-term sustainability and performance.
 
We iterate quickly on these products and features and learn new things daily — all while writing quality code using the latest AI tools. We work closely with product and design and solve some of the toughest engineering problems to unlock new possibilities for our customers. If you get excited by building products with high customer impact — this is the place for you.
 
Responsibilities
In this role, you’ll:
  • Design and build robust, scalable backend systems and APIs that power audience & journey creation, segmentation, and activation across Segment’s data platform.

  • Communicate technical decisions clearly - articulating trade-offs, customer impact, and team alignment.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
  • Troubleshoot and improve system reliability, debugging issues and refining operational tooling and processes.
  • Participate in an on-call rotation for our managed services
