Requirements

Extensive Backend Engineering Experience – This role is nearly entirely backend focused. You should be comfortable exercising best practices in Python/FastAPI, working with high-throughput real-time systems, and deploying and operating services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Communication Skills – You will work extensively with external affiliate partners, making clear and professional written and verbal communication essential. You'll need good judgment for navigating technical conversations with partners of varying sophistication and organizational complexity.
Process Orientation & Multitasking – You will be responsible for many simultaneous workstreams: active integrations, in-flight debugging, API evolution projects, and ongoing partner relationships. You'll need to design and maintain right-sized processes to keep everything on track without dropping balls.
Detail Orientation – Real-time bidding is an unforgiving environment where a single malformed field or misconfigured parameter can silently degrade performance or revenue. An extraordinary eye for detail is essential.
QA Mindset – You will be expected to build and maintain robust testing and validation practices to ensure integrations behave correctly end-to-end, especially as we scale to more affiliates and more inventory types.
Domain Knowledge (a Plus) – Familiarity with the insurance industry and/or real-time bidding ecosystems (leads, clicks, calls) will meaningfully accelerate your ability to make good decisions and earn credibility with partners.
