Your Role at impact.com:

As a Full Stack Software Engineer at impact.com, you'll work on a global team, building real time data processes at-scale. You can be part of the design and build of distributed systems with an opportunity to become an expert in the field.

We work with many of the world’s best-known brands - you will be directly building the product we are selling to these companies.

What You'll Do:

Deliver new product features using agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot) as a core part of your daily workflow

Write clear specs and prompts, break work into agent-sized tasks, and guide agents to high-quality results
