Engineering At Permuti**
veWe’re 30+ engineers working to build an outstanding engineering culture so that everyone who joins has the opportunity and the support to do the best work of their life. Small, autonomous teams are important to us, and we want to empower everyone to make decisions confidently and take ownership of their impac
t.
We operate at a massive scale: our platform handles more requests each day than there are new tweets and Google searches, and each month we serve more than 2 billion user devices. We combine our patented edge-computing capabilities and low-latency cloud services to deliver real-time customer experienc
es.
We think applying functional programming techniques like compositionality and type-safety is the best way to build the type of massively distributed system our platform comprises, allowing us to move fast without sacrificing qual
**ity.
About the**
RolePermutive is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Connectivity team and build the data interoperability layer that brings customer and partner data into Permutive and routes enriched data back out to where it’s ne
eded.
You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping technical direction, working closely with peers and stakeholders to design scalable systems and ensure robust delivery. This includes mentoring other engineers, guiding architectural decisions, and actively contributing to both technical execution and cross-team collaboration. Your leadership will help define how we build, scale, and evolve the pla

About t**
he teamThe Connectivity team builds and operates the core platform that enables all data onboarding and exporting within Permutive. We deliver the infrastructure, tools, and self-service interfaces that empower other teams (and customers) to easily build and integrate new data sources and destinations. Instead of building every pipeline, we provide the robust, cross-cloud capabilities, including automated schema discovery, governance, ETL, and orchestration, that others build on
top of.
The Connectivity platform powers the ingestion of data from sources like BigQuery, Snowflake, S3, and GCS, making it available to Permutive's cohort creation, analytics, and activation products. Additionally, we enable our customers to export data from our platform to data lakes and ad-tech desti
nations.
Most of our application and service code is written in Scala in a functional style and using the Typelevel stack. A functional programming approach helps us build reliable, composable, and testable
systems.
Our infrastructure runs on Kubernetes in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and we rely on Google and open‑source components such as Kafka, Bigtable, BigQuery, Dataflow, Airbyte, Airflow, and
