Senior Software Engineer, Full Stack - Sales Planning

CaptivateIQ is transforming the way companies plan, manage, and optimize sales performance. We started by revolutionizing incentive compensation management, and now we're expanding our platform to solve broader enterprise performance management challenges. Recognized by industry analysts like Forrester and G2 and backed by top-tier investors, including Sequoia, ICONIQ, Accel, and Sapphire Ventures,  we empower high-growth companies like Netflix, Figma, and Stripe with the flexibility and insights needed to drive revenue performance.

Join a talented, fast-growing team committed to solving some of the most complex and impactful problems in sales performance management.

About the Role  We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of AI, product discovery, and early-stage system design. This role is focused on building AI-powered platform capabilities and user experiences from the ground up—where problems are ambiguous, approaches are still being explored, and engineering plays a critical role in shaping what’s possible.

You’ll help define how AI shows up in a brand-new EPM product: from internal platforms and abstractions to customer-facing workflows that turn complex data into actionable insight. If you enjoy experimenting with new capabilities, translating emerging technology into real product value, and building systems that enable rapid iteration, this role is for you.

What you'll Do Develop new core product capabilities from the ground up : Transforming initial concepts into production-ready features using Django, Python and React.

Collaborate closely with Product and Design : Translate ambiguous problems into high-impact technical solutions.

Optimize platform performance : Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks to ensure the platform remains responsive as we scale to support complex enterprise-grade data sets.

Scale for the enterprise : Help us drive requirements and migrate to a new common platform across all our products

Maintain high technical standards : Ensure excellence in code quality, automated testing, and observability while mentoring other engineers on the team.

Requirements 5+ years of software engineering experience with full-stack proficiency in Python, React/TypeScript and databases.

Understanding of how to leverage AI tools effectively to ship reliable code at pace

Proven track record of building and scaling products from early stages.

Strong systems thinking and architectural judgment, with the ability to design data models and APIs that support complex business logic and high data volumes.

Customer-centric approach: Proven ability to translate customer feedback and business requirements into effective technical solutions.

High ownership of production reliability: Experience building and maintaining observable, reliable systems in production settings.

Excellent communication skills and product sensibility, with a focus on collaborating deeply with product and design stakeholders.

Why You’ll Love This Role You’ll help define how AI is productized in a brand-new EPM offering.

You’ll work on both platform foundations and user-facing experiences, with real influence over direction.

You’ll operate in a space where engineering, product, and design are tightly intertwined.

Your work will shape not just features, but the long-term AI strategy and technical foundation of the product.

Bonus Points Experience with Django strongly favoured

Experience building AI model feedback loops to continuously improve model behavior

Experience implementing AI evaluation and guardrails, such as:

Offline and online evaluations

Safety filters, policy enforcement, and failure detection

Human-in-the-loop workflows and red-teaming
