With over 50,000 live events streamed annually and a growing library of original programming, FloSports is reshaping the sports media landscape for passionate fans worldwide.

We’re a team of builders, storytellers, and sports fanatics working to spotlight the moments and athletes that matter most—and we're just getting started.

THE ROLE:

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Developer to design and implement scalable, high-performance advertisement systems. This role focuses on developing pixel-perfect UI components using Angular and robust, high-performance APIs using Node.js/NestJS. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, innovative, and committed to delivering maintainable, impactful solutions that drive ad placement, tracking, and analytics.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Build scalable and high-performance APIs using Node.js and NestJS, with a focus on advertisement system implementation.

• Construct efficient data models and well-structured RESTful APIs for ad placement, tracking, and analytics.

• Strong understanding of OOP principles and design patterns to create modular and maintainable codebases.

• Work collaboratively with frontend and backend engineers to ensure seamless integration between UI components and backend services.

• Optimize performance to ensure low-latency API responses and fast, smooth user experiences.

• Use strong problem-solving skills to design ad-serving solutions, tracking mechanisms, and reporting dashboards.

• Exceptional communication skills and the ability to ask the right questions to build effective solutions.

• Most important (Ownership): Drive for results, ownership of work, and innovative problem-solving to meet business objectives.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES:

• Senior developer (5+ years) with a focus on full stack development using Angular and Node/NestJS.

• Deep understanding of AWS Elemental MediaTailor: SSAI workflows, session management, manifest manipulation, ad decision server integration.

• Familiarity with MediaLive, MediaPackage, MediaConvert, and MediaStore in the context of live or VOD workflows.

• VAST, VMAP, VPAID standards, SCTE-35 ad signaling and segmentation types and client-side vs server-side ad insertion (CSAI vs SSAI).

• Ad decisioning flows, header bidding, or ad server APIs (FreeWheel, Google Ad Manager, Yospace, etc.).

• Knowledge of distributed systems on AWS (e.g., Lambda, ECS, CloudFront, API Gateway).

• Observability: CloudWatch, X-Ray, log correlation for ad session and stream debugging.

• HLS and DASH manifest structures, segment lifecycle and DRM and CDN caching implications on dynamic ad insertion

• Knowledge of how ads are spliced or inserted into ABR manifests.

• Familiarity with at least some of the major ad tech tools/platforms in use: Google Tag Manager, Amazon A9, Prebid/OpenWrap, Google IMA SDK

• Understanding of programmatic advertising workflows, including header bidding, real-time bidding (RTB), and ad server interactions.

• Experience integrating and troubleshooting ad rendering, tracking pixels, viewability metrics, and ad blockers.

• Extreme attention to detail and the ability to create custom, pixel-perfect UI components that match designs (without relying on prebuilt UI libraries like Bootstrap or Material.)

• Strong understanding of UX principles and experience working with UX teams to define styling and functionality requirements.

• High-level proficiency with TypeScript (classes, interfaces, generics, etc.) for both frontend and backend development.

• Experience building scalable and high-performance APIs using Node.js and NestJS, with a focus on advertisement system implementation.

• Ability to construct efficient data models and well-structured RESTful APIs for ad placement, tracking, and analytics.
