ABOUT THE ROLE
AdAction is seeking a Software Engineer to join our Publisher Integrations team. In this role, you will build and maintain the APIs and services that power our publisher partnerships — integrating new publishers onto our platform and developing features that help win new business. You'll work across several backend services spanning REST and GraphQL APIs, collaborating with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, product-driven environment. This is an opportunity to make a direct impact on revenue-generating systems while growing your skills across a modern backend stack.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design, build, and maintain backend APIs and services that support publisher integrations and platform growth.
- Develop and extend REST and GraphQL endpoints to serve internal and external consumers.
- Collaborate with product and business teams to translate requirements into well-architected technical solutions.
- Write and maintain automated tests to ensure system reliability and prevent regressions.
- Improve system performance, scalability, and observability across backend services.
- Work with relational and non-relational databases to store, query, and manage application data.
- Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and architectural decisions with the engineering team.
- Support the integration of new publisher partners by building the tooling and APIs that enable seamless onboarding.
EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- 1–3 years of professional experience in a backend or full-stack engineering role.
- Experience building or contributing to REST or GraphQL APIs.
- Proficiency in SQL and experience working with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL).
- Familiarity with at least one backend language/framework — our stack is primarily PHP/Laravel, but we value engineering fundamentals over specific language experience.
- Exposure to NoSQL databases (e.g., DynamoDB, Redis) is a plus.
- Experience working at a SaaS company or in a B2B environment is a plus.
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and CI/CD practices.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset — you're comfortable asking questions and working across teams.
- Willingness to learn new tools and technologies as needed.
Curious mindset with a drive to ask questions and uncover opportunities.
