Role Overview
Flex is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our MarTech (Marketing Technology) team. This role involves spearheading the implementation of the platforms, services, and customer-facing web experiences that power how Flex finds, wins, and keeps customers.
MarTech is the connective layer between our ad platforms, website, messaging systems, analytics, and product data. We turn marketing spend into a measurable, repeatable growth engine, and give marketing the ability to launch, test, and personalize campaigns without hand-built engineering each time. It's a team with a broad surface area, owning growth engineering end to end across Lifecycle Marketing (email & SMS), Performance Marketing (paid acquisition), Brand (social and every getflex.com property), and Product Marketing.
Here are some of the projects and systems in MarTech you'll have opportunities to work on:
Incentive platform — event-driven credit assignment for referrals, affiliates, and campaigns.
Attribution and measurement — conversion APIs, identity resolution, and spend/event pipelines behind our acquisition cost reporting.
Customer-facing web — the full getflex.com surface area and paid-acquisition landing pages.
Lifecycle messaging — campaign orchestration, audience syncs, and event-driven notifications.
What you'll do
Build and own full-stack marketing services and web experiences that drive customer acquisition and retention.
Design and develop 24/7 high-scale APIs, event-driven services, and data pipelines. Our stack runs on AWS: Java and Spring Boot for the existing backend code base; TypeScript and React for web.
Build measurement into everything we ship, and integrate third-party ad, analytics, and messaging platforms behind durable abstractions.
Work closely with marketing, data, product, design, and engineering peers to launch features and experiments across web and mobile.

- Experience with big data platforms and tooling, including Snowflake.
- Proficient in CI/CD systems (preferably GitHub Actions), git, and automation; observability tools such as DataDog; and Infrastructure as Code using CDK or Terraform.
- Skilled at elevating team standards through best practices and mentoring junior engineers.
