Job Description

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Web API Platform to help establish a company-wide API platform that accelerates web modernization at Scribd. In this role, you will design, build, and own new product-facing web APIs that span our full web product surface across Scribd and Everand. These APIs will serve as the primary interface between modern web applications and existing backend systems, enabling teams to evolve toward more scalable, maintainable frontend architectures with confidence. Today, our web product relies on fragmented data access patterns and lacks standardized APIs and tooling. This role offers the opportunity to design APIs intentionally with a focus on clear contracts, predictable performance, and strong observability, improving developer experience and enabling teams to ship faster and more safely.

Job Responsibility

  • Design, build, and own new product-facing web APIs that span our full web product surface across Scribd and Everand
  • Serve as the primary interface between modern web applications and existing backend systems
  • Enable teams to evolve toward more scalable, maintainable frontend architectures with confidence
  • Design APIs intentionally with a focus on clear contracts, predictable performance, and strong observability
  • Improve developer experience and enabling teams to ship faster and more safely
  • Work closely with frontend and backend teams to define integration patterns, guide API usage, and ensure the platform scales with real-world data volumes and access patterns

Requirements

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong backend or platform focus
  • Proven experience designing APIs for high-volume or data-intensive product workflows
  • Experience implementing and integrating APIs with a Ruby on Rails application
  • Familiarity with modern API paradigms (e.g., REST, GraphQL, gRPC), including their performance and operational tradeoffs
  • Experience with query patterns, caching, pagination, and common performance pitfalls
  • Experience designing APIs with explicit contracts, versioning, and testing strategies
  • Experience working with modern web frontends (e.g., React, Next.js, or similar)
  • Strong communication skills and experience championing API design across teams
  • Hands-on experience incorporating AI-assisted tools into development workflows (e.g., debugging, testing, documentation, or design exploration)
  • Strong ownership mindset
  • Pragmatic approach to system design
  • Ability to design performance-aware APIs
  • Strong collaborator
  • Long-term perspective on maintainability, extensibility, and developer experience

Nice to have

  • You’ve designed APIs where performance characteristics were explicit and intentional, not accidental
  • You consider observability, failure modes, and system health as part of API design, not afterthoughts
  • You’re comfortable placing thoughtful constraints on API consumers to protect scalability and developer experience
  • You treat APIs and developer tooling as products, not just infrastructure
  • You care deeply about how backend and API decisions impact end users
  • You enjoy greenfield work, while navigating integration with existing systems
  • You bring informed opinions and enjoy refining them through discussion and iteration

What we offer

  • Healthcare Insurance Coverage (Medical/Dental/Vision): 100% paid for employees
  • 12 weeks paid parental leave
  • Short-term/long-term disability plans
  • 401k/RSP matching
  • Onboarding stipend for home office peripherals + accessories
  • Learning & Development allowance
  • Learning & Development programs
  • Quarterly stipend for Wellness, WiFi, etc.
  • Mental Health support & resources
  • Free subscription to the Scribd Inc. suite of products
