Key skills for this role
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in building and enhancing Applecart’s software platforms. Your work will span backend services, cloud infrastructure, and front-end applications, contributing to scalable, high-impact solutions. You will collaborate with a hybrid-remote team of skilled engineers to develop well-architected systems that drive business value, whether through API development, full-stack applications, or infrastructure improvements.
Applecart is the leading technology company creating a new category of “Decision Maker Marketing”. The most important decisions are made by the hardest people to reach and influence. Historically, C-suite leaders have lacked the tools to reach the stakeholders that matter most to their business. The C-suites of hundreds of Fortune 500 companies, major agencies, trade associations, nonprofits, and governments use Applecart to put their best content in front of business-critical decision makers and those they trust — from policymakers and investors to CEOs, key employees, members of the media and more. Decision makers are informed by what they read, learn from advisors, hear from colleagues, and discuss with family and friends. To break through to them, you must reach them through the only channel that really moves them: those they know and trust. Applecart’s platform uses publicly available data to map billions of social relationships between nearly every American adult and enable clients to deliver content directly to decision makers and those that matter most to them.
