This is a high-impact, hands-on Individual Contributor (IC) role where your judgment will shape both our browser-facing tools and our runtime creative execution.
Your Tasks and Responsibilities
- Architect Scalable Creative Tools: Lead the technical design, development, and delivery of core features across internal creative tooling utilizing modern Angular and TypeScript.
- Master High-Performance Runtimes: Guide the engineering of ultra-lightweight client-side components and interactive playable ads optimized for mobile webview performance, strict bundle-size limits, and sandboxed iframe execution.
- Own Server-Side Pipelines: Architect and maintain resilient Node.js microservices and pipelines handling dynamic asset generation, headless bundling, and low-latency tracking/redirect logic.
- Elevate Engineering Standards: Drive high-signal pull request reviews, author technical RFCs, introduce pragmatic automated testing, and proactively resolve technical debt.
- Technical Mentorship: Coach and mentor mid-level engineers, instilling best practices in web fundamentals, design patterns, and advanced debugging.
What Are We Looking For?
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with deep expertise across modern TypeScript in both client and server environments.
- Advanced Angular Knowledge: Strong mastery of modern Angular architectures (Signals, Standalone Components, reactive state management, change detection strategies, and modular code organization).
- Solid Node.js Foundations: Strong understanding of asynchronous event loops, streaming I/O, headless compilation/bundling workflows, and REST/microservice API design.
- Deep Browser & Runtime Fundamentals: Strong grasp of DOM/Canvas performance, memory lifecycle management, iframe sandboxing, postMessage communication protocols, and asset loading optimization.
- Architectural Judgment & Code Quality: Proven track record of conducting high-signal code reviews, designing maintainable systems, and introducing pragmatic automated testing.
- Low Ego, High-Impact Mentorship: Genuine passion for coaching other engineers, explaining the why behind technical decisions, and elevating team-wide technical criteria.
Bonus Points:
- Familiarity with the digital advertising ecosystem (MRAID specifications, tracking macros, click-through handling, or attribution models).
- Experience with HTML5 Canvas, WebGL, or lightweight rendering libraries (PixiJS, Phaser, Three.js) for interactive creatives.
- Hands-on experience with modern JavaScript bundlers and build tools (esbuild, Vite, Rollup, or custom AST transformation pipelines).
- Experience implementing automated CI/CD performance and bundle-budget monitoring.
