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

- Help shape engineering practices and hiring as the team grows
Requirements:

- You think about the brand's outcome, not just whether the code ships.
- You raise the bar for the engineers around you.

- 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.

- Equity in a fast-growing, venture-backed company
- Competitive medical/dental/vision/other healthcare coverage
