Job description

At Digital Turbine, we make mobile advertising experiences more meaningful and rewarding for users, app publishers, and advertisers—intelligently connecting people in more ways, across more devices. We provide powerful ads and experiences that captivate consumers, fuel performance, and help telecoms and OEMs supercharge awareness, acquisition, and monetization. Digital Turbine runs on small, autonomous pods that own an outcome and a roadmap end to end. This role is hybrid: only candidates local to the posting location will be considered.

Responsibilities

• Design and build full‑stack features—responsive web front‑ends, back‑end services, and APIs—that power campaign management, reporting, and marketplace optimization.
• Choose the right language and tools for each problem (Polyglot stack); keep the front end lightweight by pushing complex logic and heavy algorithmic weight into robust, scalable back‑end services.
• Build and consume well‑designed APIs that integrate Digital Turbine products into a unified architecture rather than isolated silos.
• Own 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 the pod.
• Mentor teammates and raise engineering standards through code review, automation, and pragmatic architecture.

Qualifications

• 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++).
• 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.
