We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Digital Experience team (EDP). The team builds shared foundations — libraries, gateway services, mobile platform support, observability, experimentation/analytics, and AI enablement — that help Frontend and product teams ship reliably at scale for millions of IPSY subscribers across IPSY subscription programs (Original, Extra, Ultimate). You will design, build, and support modern platform solutions in Next.js / TypeScript / Chakra, Kong API Gateway, and React Native, partnering with Infrastructure, SRE, InfoSec, MarTech, and Frontend teams on IPSY's modern platform stack. This is a platform engineering role for a strong TypeScript/React engineer who also wants breadth across gateway services, mobile, observability, analytics, performance, and AI enablement.
This position reports to an Engineering Manager and can be fully remote (only from one of the 16 U.S. states where IPSY has a business presence - see above for list).
