A bit about Team

GroundTruth seeks a Senior Software Engineer with strong expertise in designing and building hands-on, customer-facing applications to join our Apps Engineering team. The Apps Engineering Team builds and maintains the full-stack applications and services that power GroundTruth’s advertising platform—spanning customer-facing front ends, back-end APIs, and the data and deployment infrastructure behind them—feeding into how GroundTruth’s advertising creates Real Business Results. We work in an AI-first engineering culture where agentic coding tools are part of how we design, build, and ship every day. We take pride in building an Engineering Team composed of strong communicators who collaborate with multiple business and engineering stakeholders to find compromises and solutions. Our engineers are organized and detail-oriented team players who are problem solvers with a maker mindset. As a Senior Software Engineer (SSE) on our Apps Engineering team, you will operate as an agentic, full-stack software engineer—directing AI coding agents to build solutions that add new capabilities to our platform, while owning the architecture, quality, and outcomes of what those agents produce.

You will:

• Develop and maintain hands-on, customer-facing full-stack applications using Python / FastAPI / REST APIs and modern front-end frameworks.
• Operate as an agentic software engineer—decomposing problems into tasks that AI coding agents can execute, then reviewing, testing, and validating all agent-generated output.
• Collaborate with management, stakeholders, and the team to evaluate, plan, and deliver projects involving advertising software systems, components, and features.
• Contribute to a culture of transparency by maintaining clear documentation, structured processes, and effective communication—including the prompts, context (AGENTS.md), and MCP configuration that make AI agents productive.
• Write production-ready front-end and back-end code integrated with a continuous delivery and deployment pipeline on AWS.
• Participate in and improve team Agile practices—supporting learning, growth, and technical maturity.
• Create and maintain various ingestion and data pipelines for the GroundTruth platform.
• Build the infrastructure required for optimal extraction, transformation, and loading of data from a wide variety of data sources using SQL and AWS ‘big data’ technologies.
• Contribute ideas to improve the platform and the team’s use of AI-assisted development.
