• Collaborate with engineering, product, operations, and globally distributed teams to translate business needs into technical solutions

• Troubleshoot production issues and improve system health through monitoring, debugging, automation, and observability practices

• Write secure, well-tested code, participate in code reviews, and follow engineering best practices

• Leverage AI-enabled solutions and AI-assisted development tools to improve developer productivity and product outcomes

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience

• 5+ years of software development experience building and supporting production systems and services

• Experience owning components or services, including implementation, testing, deployment, and operational support

• Experience designing and building scalable backend systems and APIs

• Expertise in Java or Kotlin and familiarity with React

• Experience with API design and consumption, including REST and/or GraphQL

• Experience working across multiple technical systems or services, with the ability to debug and deliver maintainable solutions

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building software for advertising technology, marketplaces, or other high-scale distributed systems

• Experience with event streaming or messaging systems (e.g., Flink, Kafka, or similar real-time data processing technologies)

• Experience contributing to architecture and design discussions for services, APIs, and data models

• Demonstrated ability to improve service quality through performance tuning, observability, and automation

• Experience using metrics and data to inform engineering decisions and measure impact

• Familiarity with AI-driven systems and/or AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude)

• Experience building customer-facing features, including frontend development with React

• Background working on large-scale, high-throughput systems or platforms

What You’ll Bring

• A strong sense of ownership, with a track record of delivering solutions end-to-end
