Position Overview
The Page Builder team is part of Instacart’s Retailer Platform organization within Core Experience Engineering. We manage the content infrastructure that supports every consumer-facing page at Instacart—from the homepage to digital flyers, loyalty rewards, and seasonal promotions. Our systems operate at a significant scale, with the Content Management Domain (CMD) handling over 150,000 active placements across 125+ formats, and serving around 7 million placement requests daily at approximately 200 requests per second for over 100 retail partners.
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to spearhead impactful platform initiatives that enhance every team utilizing Instacart’s content layer. You will lead the transition of CMD from a Ruby monolith to a dedicated Go service, design proto-first API contracts for various partner teams, and deliver low-latency, highly reliable services with precise service level objectives (SLOs). Additionally, you will innovate a new composable content architecture, replacing over 125 hardcoded placement types with a singular, extensible type built on React components and Liquid templates—significantly accelerating time-to-value for enterprise retailers.
