Today, a trillion dollars of media flows through platforms that don’t talk to each other, and each one measures its own results. We built the independent alternative: consented first-party data and AI that give the world’s biggest advertisers, publishers, and platforms one clear view across all of it.\nThe next era of advertising will run on AI agents, and those agents will need data they can trust. We’re building that foundation, and the agents that act on it. Join us and help build what the industry runs on.\nAbout the Role\nSamba's Product Engineering team builds the software that puts our data to work: customer-facing platforms, internal tooling, and the APIs and services that connect them. You own features and systems across the stack, from web frontends to backend services, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure, in work that goes well beyond CRUD: analytical SQL over large-scale TV viewership data, caching pipelines, a multi-cloud environment, and a non-trivial auth model.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn Features: Own features end to end, from frontend interfaces and backend services and APIs to data models and the infrastructure that runs them.\n Write Analytical SQL: Write and maintain analytical SQL over large-scale datasets (BigQuery), understanding the domain well enough to extend measurement logic correctly.\nRun Data Pipelines: Design and operate data pipelines and caching layers between raw data and the product surface.\nEvolve the Auth Model: Maintain and evolve the auth and authorization model across Firebase, Auth0, and Firestore security rules.\n Manage Multi-Cloud: Manage multi-cloud integrations across Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services (BigQuery, Cloud Functions, Firestore, Cloud Storage) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) (S3).\nHold the Bar: Hold a high bar for testing, observability, and reliability: instrument what you ship and own its behavior in production.\n Shape Architecture: Participate in architecture reviews, contribute to the technical roadmap, and mentor junior engineers.\nWhat You Bring\n5+ years of experience building and operating production software, with strong command of TypeScript or JavaScript across frontend and backend.\nExperience building backend services and APIs, including RESTful design, authentication patterns, and token-based auth flows.\nComfortable writing non-trivial SQL (window functions, aggregations, query optimization); experience with BigQuery or a similar analytical datastore is a plus.\nHands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (serverless or managed compute, object storage, secret management, scheduled jobs) and familiarity with eventual consistency and cache invalidation patterns in distributed systems.\nProficient in agentic development, building or integrating large language model (LLM) powered workflows, tool-use patterns, or AI agents in production.\nComfortable doing archaeology in production codebases: reading unfamiliar code, identifying live versus legacy paths, and making safe changes.\nNice to have: React and modern frontend patterns; Firebase (Cloud Functions, Firestore, Authentication); GCP and/or AWS in production; an adtech, audience measurement, or CTV and OTT background; and exposure to reach, frequency, and attribution.\nCompensation\n$182,000 - $246,000 a year\nSamba expects to offers On-Target Earnings (OTE) of $182,000 - $246,000 per year for roles to be performed in California; actual base salary offered will depend on various factors, including but not limited to, location, experience, and performance. Base salary is just one component of Samba's total compensation package for employees. Other rewards may include bonuses, short-term incentives, and long-term incentives. In addition, Samba provides health insurance, wellness offerings, life and disability insurance, a retirement savings plan, paid holidays and paid time off (PTO), and other employee benefits.\nSamba is an equal opportunity employer.\nYour personal information\nWe collect personal information directly from you when you apply. Where the law permits, we may also receive it from third parties, such as through background, employment, or reference checks. For details, see Samba’s Applicant Privacy Policy.
