Senior Backend Engineer - AI-Driven AdTech Platform

StitcherAds; New York (NY); In loco; USD 185.000 - 200.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Kargo is modernizing the Workflow Platform. As a Senior Engineer, you design and build distributed services that are reliable, observable, and scalable, owning projects end-to-end and collaborating with product, data, and fellow engineers.

You will reduce latency, improve fault tolerance, and advance observability while mentoring teammates and sharing best practices. Proficiency in TypeScript or Go and experience with microservices and cloud/container tech are expected.

Competenze

• 5–8 years of software engineering experience in distributed or high-scale backends.
• Proficiency in TypeScript or Go, with strong preference for both.
• Strong knowledge of distributed systems concepts: consistency, availability, fault tolerance, event-driven architecture, and service orchestration.
• Experience building and maintaining production-grade microservices at scale; async messaging with Kafka or Pub/Sub is a plus.
• Experience with CI/CD, containers (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud infra (AWS, GCP, or Azure); debugging with monitoring and tracing.
• Active use of AI coding tools (Cursor, Copilot) with productivity gains.
• BS or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience; AdTech or real-time systems experience a plus.

Mansioni

• Design and build distributed services for the Workflow Platform modernization, considering failure modes, retry logic, and observability from the start.
• Own significant projects end-to-end—from design through deployment and post-launch optimization—with minimal hand-holding.
• Improve platform health through latency reductions, fault tolerance, and observability enhancements with measurable outcomes.
• Use AI-assisted development tools fluently to ship faster, and share what’s working with teammates.
• Raise the quality bar through code reviews and design discussions, contributing well-reasoned opinions.
• Partner with Product, Data, and cross-functional stakeholders, translating fluently between technical and non-technical.
• Mentor less experienced engineers through pairing, documentation, and patient, constructive guidance.
