Job Description

Senior Software Engineer building pixels, tracking, APIs, and ad-delivery systems for Checkmate’s AI growth platform. Owning scalable architecture and production reliability across mate’s ad-tech infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and ship backend services and APIs that power mate's agents, from spec to production
  • Improve and maintain an identity graph
  • Own features end to end, partnering with product and design on what to build and how
  • Write clean, well-tested, production-grade code and set the standard for the rest of the team
  • Build and maintain the pixel, tags, and server-side tracking, and conversion integrations with Meta, TikTok, Google, and others
  • Build integrations with DSPs, ad platforms, and partner APIs
  • Build real-time services that deliver offers across the network, fast and reliably
  • Make architecture decisions concerning service design, storage, queues, and caching
  • Own production reliability through monitoring, alerting, debugging, and incident response
  • Improve developer tooling and CI/CD, and reduce technical debt
  • Lead design reviews and code reviews, and mentor other engineers
  • Help shape engineering practices and hiring as the team grows

Requirements:

  • You've built ad tech from the inside and know how the pieces connect, from pixel to conversion.
  • You like owning a system end to end, not just a ticket queue.
  • You're pragmatic: you ship fast on a small team without cutting corners on quality.
  • You think about the brand's outcome, not just whether the code ships.
  • You raise the bar for the engineers around you.
  • 6+ years building and shipping production software, with meaningful time at an ad tech company (DSP, ad platform, ad exchange, or identity provider)
  • Strong backend engineering skills in Python and Typescript, including designing APIs and distributed services
  • Hands-on experience building pixels, tags, SDKs, or conversion tracking, client-side and server-side
  • Experience building systems that handle high request volume with low latency
  • Comfort with cloud infrastructure, containers, and CI/CD
  • A track record of owning systems in production, from launch through monitoring and on-call
  • Bonus: Identity resolution / graph networks, ecommerce or Shopify, or early-stage startup experience.
  • Must be based in the United States
  • Visa sponsorship is not available

Benefits:

  • Equity in a fast-growing, venture-backed company
  • Competitive medical/dental/vision/other healthcare coverage
  • 4 weeks PTO + health days
  • 401k plan
  • Monthly stipend for fitness/wellness activities
  • Company retreats and team get togethers 2x a year
  • Remote-first culture
