Software Engineer, Backend Developer, Full Stack Developer

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a deeply technical growth engineer who combines hands‑on execution with system‑level thinking. You have built and operated production‑grade marketing automation systems at scale—from campaign management pipelines and ads bidding infrastructure to creative generation tooling and experimentation frameworks—and you take pride in engineering platforms that drive measurable business outcomes. You gravitate toward the hardest problems at the intersection of technology and performance marketing, such as designing a low‑latency bidding optimization engine, building a reliable creative generation pipeline, or defining architectural patterns that shape how the company scales its growth stack.

You operate with high autonomy, hold yourself to exceptional standards, and raise the bar for peers through rigorous code reviews, sharp technical judgment, and a bias toward clean, durable solutions over quick fixes.

• Own business‑critical end‑to‑end efforts on performance marketing initiatives, working closely with marketing, product, data science, and analytics teams to deliver high‑quality, high‑performance tooling and systems.
• Drive technical design and architecture for growth engineering systems, including campaign management, ads bidding optimization, and creative generation pipelines.
• Collaborate across engineering teams and the data science organization to understand and implement business requirements.
• Partner with stakeholders to define and refine requirements, translating them into actionable tasks and milestones.
• Define performance metrics and drive data‑driven decisions across the growth stack.
• Identify and resolve systemic engineering gaps—reliability risks, performance bottlenecks, and scaling constraints—proactively.
• Drive a code‑review culture and contribute to architecture and design, identifying and resolving performance issues.
• Align with leadership and team members and collaborate with management counterparts to ensure clear delivery.

• Excellent computer science fundamentals.
• 8+ years of industry experience building and shipping high‑impact software systems.
• Proven experience in growth engineering, including building and owning performance marketing tools, campaign automation pipelines, or ads optimization systems.
• Experience building and maintaining highly reliable distributed systems that operate at scale.
• Experience partnering with Data Science to drive performance marketing efficiency.
• Knowledge of campaign management and ads bidding optimization is a strong plus.
• Experience with A/B testing frameworks and data‑driven experimentation.
• Deep familiarity with full‑stack development workflows, product ownership, and cross‑functional collaboration.
• Demonstrated ability to optimize service availability, performance, and stability through operational excellence.
• Advocate for maintaining the highest standards in code quality, latency, and observability.
• Comfortable handling ambiguity in a startup environment.
• Effective communication with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Curious, quick learner, scrappy, and loves to experiment.

Pay Range: $230,000‑$275,000 USD + bonus + equity (may vary based on experience and location).
