Newsbreak Senior Software Engineer at Nearby AI responsible for designing and building a messaging platform across multiple channels. Own the consent and preference layer and ensure deliverability end to end.
Responsibilities
Design and build the messaging platform: triggering, routing, templating, retries, deduplication, rate limiting, scheduling, and delivery tracking, with reliability and observability as first-class requirements.
Build the consent and preference layer: per-channel consent records with provenance, opt-out and do-not-contact propagation to partners within contracted timelines, quiet hours, and suppression rules that no campaign can override.
Own deliverability end to end: sender registration and reputation, authentication standards, bounce and complaint handling.
Partner with data and machine-learning engineers on event-triggered engagement, including frequency management and holdout design.
Provide experimentation hooks so growth can test timing, content, and channel without changes to the core platform.
Establish engineering standards for a system that carries regulatory obligations, including audit trails and access controls.
