About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer at Kixie, you will take end-to-end ownership of critical product subdomains - from architecture and design through implementation and production operations. You'll contribute to a modern, event-driven microservices platform built on Kubernetes and AWS, working across the full stack with a team that moves fast and ships high-quality software. This role requires strong technical judgment, the ability to lead initiatives across teams, and a mindset for building systems that are scalable, reliable, and observable by default.
What You'll Do
- Take full ownership of key product subdomains - including Telephony, CRM Integrations, Billing, and Observability - driving architecture decisions and long-term technical direction.
- Design, build, and maintain full-stack applications using React, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Kafka, OpenSearch, Kubernetes, and AWS Services. - Build and evolve deep integrations with third-party CRM platforms including Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, GoHighLevel, etc.
- Contribute to our event-sourcing, microservices-based architecture - designing resilient, fault-tolerant services that operate at scale.
- Leverage AI tooling and LLM-based systems to enhance product features and build enterprise-grade capabilities that meet strict SLA requirements.
- Help build and enhance our observability platform which captures both system stability and user behavior that feeds into our business intelligence and ai platform.
- Manage and improve our CI/CD and AWS EKS infrastructure using Terraform for cloud provisioning and Ansible for on-premise Kubernetes cluster management.
- Champion best practices, test automation, and code quality standards across the engineering organization.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of complex, production systems.
- Strong full-stack proficiency with React, Node.js, and TypeScript; solid understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL), NoSQL databases, and data platforms (warehouses, lakes, or lakehouses).
- Experience with event-driven or event-sourcing architectures and distributed systems design.
- Deep familiarity with AWS and Kubernetes (EKS); experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or AWS CDK/CloudFormation.
- Hands-on experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Datadog, Grafana/Prometheus, or CloudWatch.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Travis CI.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to lead technical initiatives, mentor peers, and influence architectural decisions across teams.
- A critical, systems-level thinker who can evaluate trade-offs, propose multiple solutions, and align stakeholders around the right path forward.
Nice to Have
- Experience with telephony providers such as Twilio, Plivo, or similar VoIP/CPaaS platforms.
- Familiarity with CRM integration patterns and APIs (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, GoHighLevel).
- Experience building or working with AI/ML systems, RAG pipelines, or LLM orchestration frameworks.
Benefits and Perks
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Unlimited paid time off (PTO), sick leave, and paid holidays
- Complimentary parking in our secure garage
- Pet-friendly office
- Opportunities for career growth and continuous learning
- A collaborative, dynamic, and supportive team environment

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
