📋 Description

• Design, build, and ship backend services and APIs that power mate's agents, from spec to production • Improve and maintain an identity graph • Own features end to end, partnering with product and design on what to build and how • Write clean, well-tested, production-grade code and set the standard for the rest of the team • Build and maintain the pixel, tags, and server-side tracking, and conversion integrations with Meta, TikTok, Google, and others • Build integrations with DSPs, ad platforms, and partner APIs • Build real-time services that deliver offers across the network, fast and reliably • Make architecture decisions concerning service design, storage, queues, and caching • Own production reliability through monitoring, alerting, debugging, and incident response • Improve developer tooling and CI/CD, and reduce technical debt • Lead design reviews and code reviews, and mentor other engineers • Help shape engineering practices and hiring as the team grows

🎯 Requirements

• Equity in a fast-growing, venture-backed company • Competitive medical/dental/vision/other healthcare coverage • 4 weeks PTO + health days • 401k plan • Monthly stipend for fitness/wellness activities • Company retreats and team get togethers 2x a year • Remote-first culture
