Are you a backend software engineer who loves building robust systems that move data and power analytics?
Join a fast-growing tech team focused on building modern infrastructure for media and advertising analytics. You’ll own backend services that enable clients to measure campaign performance, feed data pipelines, and scale to handle large volumes of events.
This is an opportunity to take real ownership, work with a high-impact engineering team, and help shape a product relied on by marketing and analytics teams.
What you’ll do
- Build and maintain backend services and REST/GRPC APIs using Python (experience with Django or similar frameworks preferred).
- Design and optimise database schemas and queries for PostgreSQL; work with analytical warehouses like Snowflake.
- Implement reliable data ingestion and ETL flows that move event and campaign data between systems.
- Ensure services are production-ready: resilient, well-tested, monitored, and documented.
- Troubleshoot and tune systems running on Linux-based infrastructure; participate in incident response and postmortems.
- Collaborate with frontend engineers, data teams, and product to deliver end-to-end features.
- Contribute to technical design, code reviews, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.
