- Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers across teams to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions.
- Be trusted to take ownership of meaningful projects, contribute to system design discussions, and strengthen the reliability and performance of our advertising platforms.
- Work across the stack: React/TypeScript micro-frontends, GraphQL federation, and backend services, plus ad-tech integrations (Google Ad Manager/GPT, Prebid, viewability and identity vendors).
- Ship experiments safely through A/B trial platforms with clear guardrail metrics, rollback paths, and data-informed decisions.
- Use AI coding assistants to amplify your expertise while exercising judgment on when to trust, revise, or set aside generated output.

- Solid backend experience in Node.js/TypeScript and/or Java (Spring Boot); comfortable designing and consuming GraphQL APIs (federated graphs a plus).
- Experience with AWS and container/Kubernetes-based platforms, CI/CD (GitLab or similar), and observability tooling such as Datadog.
- Rigorous about quality: unit and integration testing (Jest, Playwright or equivalent), code review, monitoring.
- A track record of independently delivering well-scoped features with quality; communicates clearly with technical and non-technical partners, and seeks guidance when facing ambiguity.
