About The Senior Full Stack Engineer

• Design and build full-stack features — from responsive web front-ends to back-end services and APIs — that power campaign management, reporting, and marketplace optimization.
• Choose the right language and tools for each problem (we run a polyglot stack), and keep the front end lightweight by pushing complex computational logic, data modeling, and heavy algorithmic weight into robust, scalable back-end services.
• Build and consume well-designed APIs that integrate DT products into a unified architecture rather than isolated silos.
• Own your services in production: testing, observability, performance, and on-call, treating quality as a whole-team responsibility.
• Collaborate directly with product leads and stakeholders, contributing to scoping, estimation, and technical decisions within your pod.
• Mentor teammates and raise engineering standards through code review, automation, and pragmatic architecture.

About You As The Senior Full Stack Engineer

• 5+ years building and shipping production platforms, with a heavy skew toward backend architecture, system design, and code optimization.
• Strong algorithmic fundamentals, data structures, and a proven track record of solving complex data‑processing or resource optimization problems.
• Demonstrated ability to be effective in more than one language/ecosystem (e.g., TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, Kotlin, Python, Go, Scala, or C++) — you optimize for the problem, not a single tool.
• Solid command of modern front‑end frameworks (e.g., React) and back‑end service design, plus relational and/or distributed data stores (MySQL, PostgreSQL, and similar).
• Strong fundamentals in API design, data modeling, testing, and system design.
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, agile, ownership-driven environment with limited hand-holding.

Nice To Have Skills

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP), containers, and CI/CD.
• Exposure to AdTech, dashboards/BI surfaces, or high-throughput data‑driven products.
• Experience integrating ML or data services into product workflows.
