About this role
Role overview
Build the backend services and mobile features that support display and video advertising across consumer apps and live streams. This is a backend-focused role using Node.js and TypeScript, with hands-on Android development in Kotlin as needed. You will work with engineers and product and sales partners to deliver reliable ad experiences and integrations.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate backend services for ad targeting, eligibility, and delivery. - Develop APIs and server-managed configuration so advertising experiences can be updated without an app release. - Maintain integrations with ad-serving and programmatic advertising partners, and contribute to header bidding capabilities. - Ship Android features in Kotlin that connect backend services to in-app advertising. - Turn technical designs into maintainable services and features in collaboration with senior engineers. - Improve system performance and reliability through testing, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
Requirements
- At least three years of professional software engineering experience, including operating production backend services. - Strong Node.js and TypeScript experience, including API design and work with relational or NoSQL databases. - Hands-on experience shipping features in a production Android app using Kotlin. - Ability to take a defined technical problem from design through implementation, testing, and release. - Comfort working across backend and mobile systems and collaborating as priorities change.
Nice to have
- Experience with advertising technology such as ad managers, video ad standards, or header bidding, or with live video streaming.
Benefits and work setup
- Remote work within eligible US locations or work from an office in Manhattan, New York. - Target salary range of $120,000–$140,000, with incentive compensation and equity for eligible roles. - Benefits include health coverage, retirement savings with a company match, paid parental leave, paid time off, and technology and home-office stipends.
