About the role:
Software Engineer at Appfire has a cross-team impact – you’ll be solving the most challenging (and rewarding) matters like the performance and reliability improvements of our Cloud and On-premise products, data residency and automatic cross-region data migration, and end-to-end testing. You also will be part of an engineering team responsible for designing and implementing new features and also building and releasing new Cloud/On-premise based products from scratch.
As part of our engineering team, you will have the opportunity to work on some of our enterprise-class products, such as BigPicture, CMJ, Rich Filters and etc., with more than 30k distributions worldwide.

What you’ll do:
- Product Roadmap: Work on advancing the product roadmap by developing new features, improving existing functionality, and driving overall product enhancements.
- Maintenance and Support: Handle ongoing maintenance tasks and engage with the Support team to resolve L3 escalations. Fix defects, write automated tests and keep the high quality of the codebase.
- Streamlining processes: Automate processes where possible and contribute to the continuous improvement of development practices.
What you'll need:
- 4 years of professional software development experience.
- Experience with Java, JavaScript, TypeScript or similar languages and technologies.
- Experience with Git for managing code repositories.
- Ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, including Level 3 support escalations.
- Ability to work effectively within cross-functional and cross-product teams, including collaboration with product managers and support engineers.
- Ability to understand and debug someone else’s code.
- Comfort with switching between different tasks, such as product roadmap development, maintenance, and customer requests analysis.
