Job Description
About Attention
At Attention, we’re transforming how go-to-market teams operate by turning every customer interaction into structured data, insights, and intelligent action. Our AI agents help organizations execute faster, learn continuously, and make every deal cycle more efficient and predictable.
We’re trusted by teams at Scale AI, Lovable, BambooHR, Elise AI, Abridge, and hundreds of other rapidly growing companies and just getting started.
Our belief is that the best AI products will feel deeply human-centered. Rather than replacing sales reps with agents, they'll empower them to answer critical questions while automating manual busywork:
- Which deals need our attention right now and what action is required?
- How much revenue do we expect this make this quarter based on the current state of open deals?
- What automations have our agents run and how do I check they're correct?
What You'll Do
As a Senior Software Engineer at Attention, you'll be a technical anchor on the team — shaping architecture, mentoring engineers, and driving high-impact projects from ambiguity to production. You'll work closely with product and leadership to define what we build and how we build it.
Technical Leadership
- Own end-to-end design and implementation of complex, cross-cutting features — from task breakdown through delivery, monitoring, and long-term maintenance.
- Set the technical bar: produce elegant, well-reasoned designs and high-quality code that others can learn from and build on.
- Drive architectural decisions and participate in design reviews, ensuring systems are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with our long-term vision.
- Mentor and level up junior and mid-level engineers through code review, pairing, and thoughtful technical feedback.
Product Mindset
- Collaborate directly with product and design to translate ambiguous specs into clear, well-scoped engineering plans.
- Proactively identify opportunities to improve product quality, developer velocity, and business outcomes — not just execute on tickets.
- Balance immediate business objectives against long-term architectural vision, and help the team navigate that tradeoff intelligently.
- Champion the user experience from the engineering side, ensuring what we ship is reliable, performant, and delightful.
Reliability & Platform Health
- Own the reliability of the systems you build: define SLOs, instrument observability, and drive incident response and post-mortems.
- Contribute to platform and infrastructure improvements — including CI/CD pipelines, deployment tooling, and production runbooks.
- Champion engineering best practices around testing, observability, and on-call hygiene to raise the reliability bar across the team.
- Lead capacity planning and performance work for critical services, including identifying bottlenecks and driving resolutions proactively.
What We Look For
Must Have
7+ years of industry experience as a Software Engineer, with meaningful time owning full-stack or frontend-heavy products.
Deep expertise in modern frontend development, including:
- React: component architecture, hooks, performance optimization, and state management patterns
- http://next.js: routing, SSR/SSG tradeoffs, and production deployment considerations
- GraphQL: query design, client-side caching, and schema evolution
- Tailwind CSS: utility-first styling, design system thinking, and responsive layouts
Solid backend experience: comfortable writing and owning Go services, designing REST and GraphQL APIs, and working with Postgres at scale.
Deep fluency with SOLID design principles and how to apply them across both frontend and backend code.
Proven ability to go from open-ended problem to well-reasoned design with minimal direction, and to bring others along in that process.
Extensive experience with unit, integration, and end-to-end testing as a first-class engineering discipline.
Familiarity with SRE/DevOps basics: CI/CD, containerized deployments, and production observability tooling.
Strong sense for user-facing quality — performance, accessibility, and the details that make a product feel great to use.
Git mastery: branching strategies, code review culture, and keeping history clean and meaningful.
Nice to Have
- Experience with event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, Temporal workflows).
- Prior exposure to AI/ML infrastructure or LLM integrations in production systems.
- Frontend experience with React, Next.js, or GraphQL clients.
- History of driving team-wide technical initiatives (migrations, platform improvements, RFC processes).
Culture
- Passionate about Attention's mission; ability to empathize with our users and how they'll use our product.
- Prior experience building, launching, and maintaining products in fast-paced environments at scale and helping teams do the same.
- Comfortable working cross-functionally with product, design, and external stakeholders; a trusted engineering voice in those conversations.
- Leads with opinions held loosely — advocates for technical positions clearly, but updates views when presented with new information.
- Grit and adaptability; thrives in early-stage environments and helps others navigate ambiguity too.
Our Tech Stack
- Backend: Go, Postgres, Kubernetes, AWS, Kafka, Redis, Temporal workflows
- Frontend: React, Tailwind, Next.js, GraphQL
- Observability & Infra: AWS-native tooling, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines
