From high-performing APIs to backend algorithms, async workers, to event-driven messaging systems, you'll hone your skills across multiple domains while helping to drive forward the Affinity product and vision.

What you’ll be doing:

Own product areas that are critical to the success of our customers and our business.

Enable a bi-directional, enterprise-level integration between Affinity and Salesforce, owning its architecture and business logic, and driving its performance, scalability and availability.

Grow your expertise and fluency with the core pieces of technology that serve as the foundation for the Affinity product.
