• Experience with high availability and disaster recovery strategies in a cloud environment, along with monitoring and logging tools.
• You embrace blameless post-incident analysis and are committed to continuous improvement.

• 8,000 brands powered by Attentive sent over 2.2 billion text messages over Cyber Week 2023 (Black Friday/Cyber Monday) representing a growth of 31% from 2022
• We sent 32 billion SMS messages in 2023, up 32% YoY. That’s an average of 87 million per day
• Our production cluster contains over 18,000 containers which serve 200+ services
• Our streaming services process over 80 billion events per month

• We use a wide variety of technology and we’re always looking for the best solutions to solve hard problems.
• Attentive’s backend is Java / Spring Boot microservices, built with Gradle, and hosted via AWS.
• Our infrastructure is Kubernetes-centric, with Argo CD leveraged for deployments, Terraform for configuration management, and Spacelift as configuration control.
• As a Data Team, we support a number of different data storage solutions across several paradigms.
• MySQL and PostgreSQL as Relational Database solutions.
