SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER 

RVPR is seeking a Senior Engineer to help build and scale the distributed systems that power personalization and data across our portfolio. In this role, you'll design and operate high-performance backend services and the message-driven pipelines that connect them, working primarily in Go alongside Python-based AI agents. You'll collaborate with teammates to build systems that are reliable, observable, and built to scale, leveraging modern AI-assisted development practices to move faster without cutting corners.

At RVPR, we believe exceptional products are built by exceptional people. We foster a collaborative, agile environment that values learning, craftsmanship, and work-life balance. We offer competitive benefits, flexibility, and strong opportunities for professional growth, alongside a commitment to diversity and inclusion. Join us to make a meaningful impact by building platform infrastructure that enables personalized experiences at scale.

What You'll Do:

• Build systems for scale, observability, and fault tolerance across distributed services
• Own end-to-end delivery from design through deployment and on-call
• Maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure using GitHub Actions, Terraform, and AWS
• Use agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or whatever's next) as co-engineers, not autocomplete
• Build intelligent agents and automation in Python where it accelerates the platform
• Continually look for opportunities to set standards, build tools, and automate toil out of existence
• Coordinate with data science, product, and other engineering teams to deliver quality solutions
• Contribute to key architectural decisions and system design across the platform
• Participate in code reviews to maintain high standards and share knowledge
• Research and prototype next-generation solutions using modern tech stacks (TypeScript, NextJS, Python) to validate technical hypotheses and prove concepts before production
• Experiment with emerging AI frameworks, tools, and architectures-building POCs that push the boundaries of what's possible
• Design and implement experimental services and APIs that serve as technical foundations for future product innovations
• Drive technical discovery through hands-on coding, measurement, and analysis-moving from idea to validated proof-of-concept
• Work autonomously on ambiguous problems where the solution path isn't clear, using agile principles to manage uncertainty

What We're Looking For:

• Technical Mastery: Proficient in React and React Native, with understanding of Python. Plus if you have Go experience 
• Technical Skills: Solid experience in API development and Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Passion for AI: A keen interest in OpenAI, LangChain, and Large Language Models (LLMs)
• Growth Mindset: A relentless desire to learn and excel in a tech-driven environment
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and testing in a production context

At Red Ventures we offer a competitive offer package. Additionally, the following benefits are provided by Red Ventures, subject to eligibility requirements.

• Health Insurance Coverage (medical, dental, and vision)
• Life Insurance
• Holiday Pay
• 401(k) with match
• Paid Parental Bonding Benefit Program
• Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO): We believe time to rest and recharge is essential.  That's why we offer a generous and flexible PTO policy.  Full-time employees accrue 20 days of PTO for a full calendar year annually, with an increase to 25 days after five years of service.
