This person will help build and improve the systems that power our advertising platform, with work spanning both backend and client-facing features. You'll work closely with engineers across the stack to ship reliable, well-tested software and contribute to the quality and evolution of our technology. This role is ideal for someone with hands-on experience in adtech and who wants to deepen their impact in a fast-moving environment. This role is open for remote work across the country, or for those willing and able to work in our NYC or Redwood City, CA offices 2-3 days a week.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain features across our frontend and backend systems, with a strong emphasis on clean, maintainable code.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of UI components that give teams and clients strong visibility into system behavior and performance.
• Support backend services with a focus on data accuracy, system reliability, and operational excellence.
• Collaborate with teammates to enhance observability and monitoring through dashboards, alerts, and instrumentation.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of ad-tech-scale data and ML solutions.
• Write automated tests and contribute to ongoing improvements in tooling, coverage, and quality.
• Participate in code reviews, share feedback, and help drive alignment on technical decisions.
• Collaborate with product and engineering partners to scope work, refine requirements, and deliver features on time.

Who you are

• 5+ years of experience as a full-stack engineer working with modern frontend and backend technologies.
• Background in adtech, including hands-on experience with ad serving, pixels, tracking, measurement, or related systems.
• Solid backend development skills. We use Golang, but experience with any modern backend language is welcome.
• Strong experience with React or a comparable frontend framework preferred.
• Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools such as Looker, OpenTelemetry, Centry, or New Relic.
• A strong interest in data science/machine learning concepts, or hands-on experience with high-throughput, ad-tech scale data solutions.
• Comfortable working with automated testing frameworks and contributing to an overall testing culture.
• Strong communicator who works well with cross-functional teams and enjoys solving complex problems in a collaborative environment.
• A thoughtful engineer who cares about reliability, usability, and building things the right way.

The approximate compensation range for this position is $175,000-$200,000.
