About this role
AdAction is a leader in performance-based mobile app marketing, and they are seeking a Software Engineer to join their Publisher Integrations team. In this role, you will build and maintain APIs and services that power publisher partnerships, integrating new publishers onto the platform and developing features to support business growth.
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
Requirements:
- 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
- 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
- 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
