Animation Software Engineer Remote Jobs in Revere, MA

Spoiler Alert is a CPG and retail tech company on a mission to expand consumer access to affordable, everyday essentials by unlocking the value in surplus inventory. We've powered the sale of over $6 billion of inventory from leading CPG brands like Unilever, Kraft Heinz, and Mondelez into hundreds of value channel retailers and wholesalers - recovering value for brands, reducing waste, and creating savings for consumers. We're building the marketplace infrastructure to transform CPG surplus into opportunity for retailers to meet consumer demand at scale, and infusing AI-native products into a segment of the CPG supply chain that is ripe for improvement.

We're hiring a Software Engineer to help build our platform that's redefining how CPG suppliers and retail buyers transact surplus inventory. The next chapter of Spoiler Alert is defined by how intelligently our platform operates, e.g. AI-powered pricing recommendations, demand matching, and decision intelligence that turns gut instinct into data-driven outcomes. The engineers who build it are central to that ambition.

This is a role for someone who wants to build a product with a purpose and a focus on outcomes. You'll work inside a Product pod, owning meaningful pieces of a platform where quality and velocity both matter, making effective use of AI tools throughout. You'll bring craft to your code and curiosity to our domain. You'll be expected to grow, and we'll give you the structure and support to do it.

This role reports to an Engineering Tech Lead and will partner closely with the PM and designer in your pod.

Deliver good software well

• Design, write, review, test, and deploy code across our stack with quality and velocity, effectively incorporating AI coding tools productively and responsibly based on product needs and technical understanding
• Develop and extend automated unit, integration, and end-to-end test suites
• Collaborate on data modeling, application architecture, and technology decisions including what's working, not working, and ideas for how to improve
• Thoughtfully plan and estimate development, communicating tradeoffs and risks early
• Participate in shared support duties and help maintain the reliability of our systems

Collaborate on pod purpose

• Contribute to pod feature definition, design, and technical direction, not just execute against it
• Improve documentation and knowledge sharing across the Engineering team
• Partner with Product and Design to understand what we're building and why, and bring technical perspective into those conversations early

Grow with Intention

• Actively seek mentorship and provide it where you can
• Use Friday focus time to build skills that matter to your growth and our roadmap
• Participate in learning and growth opportunities — book clubs, tech guru sessions, share & tells
• Deepen your understanding of Spoiler Alert's industry, customers, and mission over time

• 2+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Solid fundamentals: you commit clean, tested, maintainable code and take ownership of what you ship
• AI-native chops: you productively integrate AI into your development workflows to build with curiosity and strong opinions loosely held
• Experience with web application development across the stack, comfortable contributing to both backend and frontend work (we use TypeScript, React, Express)
• Familiarity with data modeling and working with databases (we use MongoDB)
• Effective collaborator and communicator across engineering, product, data, and design
• Experience differentiators: food and beverage or CPG industry background, marketplace or auction-based platform experience, applied AI/ML feature development, strong test engineering practices
