Full job description

StackAdapt is hiring a Staff Software Engineer for the Data Delivery team to lead backend systems initiatives focused on measurement and planning. The role involves translating product requirements into technical plans, leading complex projects, building scalable data systems for campaign and marketing data, and ensuring data accuracy and reliability for customer-facing reporting and analytics. The engineer will collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, data science, and business teams, improve system monitoring and quality, and mentor other engineers. Required experience includes building scalable backend and data systems, project leadership, system design, data quality focus, strong programming skills (Golang preferred), and familiarity with technologies like Kafka, TiDB, Redshift, Vitess, Iceberg, StarRocks, or Trino. Experience in adtech or marketing technology is a plus. The position is full-time, senior level, and remote, with benefits including competitive salary, health coverage, paid time off, and professional development support.

What you'll do

  • Act as a project and domain DRI for measurement and planning initiatives within Data Delivery
  • Translate product requirements into technical requirements, clarify feasibility and trade-offs, shape milestones, and identify risks early
  • Keep complex initiatives moving by unblocking decisions, coordinating across teams, and giving engineering leadership clear options and recommendations
  • Build reliable systems that process, organize, and serve large volumes of campaign and marketing data across StackAdapt
  • Power reporting, measurement, planning, billing, pacing, exports, APIs, and analytics that customers and internal teams depend on
  • Make thoughtful technical decisions that balance correctness, reliability, latency, freshness, cost, and long-term maintainability
  • Work closely with product, engineering, data science, analytics, and business teams to turn product goals into strong technical solutions
  • Improve monitoring, testing, data quality, incident response, and documentation so systems are easier to trust and operate
  • Support engineers through design reviews, code reviews, technical guidance, and clear communication of trade-offs

Requirements

  • Strong experience building scalable services, distributed systems, data platforms, or data-intensive applications
  • Experience leading complex technical projects with ambiguous requirements, multiple stakeholders, and meaningful trade-offs
  • Strong judgment across APIs, data pipelines, databases, distributed systems, observability, reliability, and operational ownership
  • Ability to reason about correctness, freshness, completeness, consistency, cost efficiency, and customer trust
  • Interest in building systems that support customer-facing reporting, measurement, planning, optimization, and analytics
  • Ability to explain decisions clearly, align stakeholders, and document important trade-offs
  • Experience helping other engineers grow and raising the technical bar of a team
  • Strong programming skills; experience with Golang and technologies such as Kafka, TiDB, Redshift, Vitess, Iceberg, StarRocks, or Trino is a plus
  • Experience in adtech, marketing technology, reporting, analytics, billing, attribution, planning, or high-volume event processing is a plus
