Senior Software Engineer - Digital Experience Team

About the Role:

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Digital Experience team (EDP). The team builds shared foundations — libraries, gateway services, mobile platform support, observability, experimentation/analytics, and AI enablement — that help Frontend and product teams ship reliably at scale for millions of IPSY subscribers across IPSY subscription programs (Original, Extra, Ultimate). You will design, build, and support modern platform solutions in Next.js / TypeScript / Chakra, Kong API Gateway, and React Native, partnering with Infrastructure, SRE, InfoSec, MarTech, and Frontend teams on IPSY's modern platform stack. This is a platform engineering role for a strong TypeScript/React engineer who also wants breadth across gateway services, mobile, observability, analytics, performance, and AI enablement.

This position reports to an Engineering Manager and can be fully remote (only from one of the 16 U.S. states where IPSY has a business presence - see above for list).

What You’ll Be Doing:

Design, develop, and maintain shared components, libraries, and common services using Next.js / TypeScript / CharkraUI, enabling Frontend teams to build and scale efficiently.

Oversee and optimize Kong API Gateway services, including LUA scripting, and partner with Infrastructure on cloud deployments across AWS, Netlify, and Jenkins to ensure secure, reliable system performance.

Build and support the mobile application ecosystem (React Native), ensuring platform reliability across customer-facing surfaces.

Implement and improve monitoring and observability capabilities using Datadog to maintain system health, operational visibility, and incident response.

Build and evolve the experimentation and analytics platform, enabling product teams to measure engagement, run experiments, and make data-informed decisions using tools such as Statsig and Amplitude.

Drive performance metrics improvements across platform services and customer-facing surfaces, identifying bottlenecks and delivering optimizations that improve reliability and user experience at scale.

Contribute to AI enablement across the platform, building shared tooling and patterns that help engineering teams integrate AI-powered capabilities safely and efficiently.

What We Are Looking For:

6+ years of experience developing platform or full-stack applications in JavaScript/TypeScript, with Next.js and React.

Experience designing and maintaining shared libraries, common services, or internal platform components used by multiple engineering teams.

Hands-on experience with Kong API Gateway, including LUA scripting.

Experience with AWS, CI/CD (Jenkins), and deployments on composable platforms such as Netlify or Vercel, in partnership with Infrastructure teams.

Experience with observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Datadog), product analytics or experimentation platforms (e.g., Statsig and Amplitude), and performance measurement at scale.

A creative, precise problem solver with a strong focus on building modern, scalable platform solutions.

Strong cross-functional communication skills and comfort partnering with Infrastructure, SRE, and security stakeholders.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Bonus if You Have:

Experience with Storybook, design systems, and component libraries such as Chakra UI.

Experience building platform tooling or integrations that enable AI-powered product capabilities.

Experience working in subscription and/or e-commerce companies.

Competitive base salary & bonus program
