Role
Who you are
- Focus on outcomes: You don’t claim victory at code completion; you measure success by positive business results and customer adoption
- Operate with autonomy: You are comfortable taking high-level priorities and turning them into actionable, well-defined technical roadmaps without constant supervision
- Bridge the gap: You enjoy deeply understanding the end-customer use case and translating those requirements into robust technical solutions
- Advocate for excellence: You have a passion for mentoring others and are dedicated to maintaining high standards for code quality and operational reliability
- You have at least 2 years of experience building and maintaining complex distributed systems, with a focus on microservices and adjacent technologies. Experience working vertically across the stack is a significant plus
- You have a degree in Computer Science or an adjacent field (or equivalent nontraditional training)
- You are proficient in Go & Python or a similar modern language, or can demonstrate the ability to pick it up relatively speedily
- You have experience designing and implementing APIs and microservices in a high-velocity production environment
- You possess a deep understanding of observability and the full software development life cycle (SDLC) in an Agile environment
- You can effectively distill complex technical updates into clear, actionable information for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- You excel at working across team boundaries and with third parties to untangle dependencies and move projects forward
- Familiarity with cloud technologies (AWS), messaging systems (Kafka, SQS), or data warehouse tools (Snowflake) is a significant plus
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Payments & Incentives team
- The team is responsible for building frictionless payment solutions for our users, operating incentive programs to increase customer retention, and managing internal systems that power the billing pipelines
- The team acts as the financial engine of Quantcast, managing the intersection of complex ad-tech data and precise fintech requirements
- Operating across multiple functional areas, the team bridges engineering with customer experience, support, and essential back-office functions such as finance and revenue operations
- You will be at the forefront of innovating solutions that integrate efficient payment, billing, and reward programs directly into our high-scale next generation advertising platform, focusing on making digital advertising campaigns as simple as possible for our customers
- Our infrastructure handles diverse use cases, from real-time fee breakdowns for campaign forecasting and bidding to unified billing workflows that synchronize across application databases, Snowflake and NetSuite
- We are currently refactoring these mission-critical pipelines to consolidate billing logic, which will enhance invoice visibility and traceability for revenue operations. These mission-critical systems enable global brands to scale their business with us
- Drive engineering initiatives for unified financial reporting and process consolidation, ensuring systems are reliable, monitored, and successfully adopted
- Lead the design and implementation of robust microservices and APIs to handle payments, incentives, and billing processes
- Continually engage with internal customers, product owners and business stakeholders to understand and resolve cross-team dependencies and end-user requirements
- Support the professional development of your peers and junior members through constructive feedback on code, system design and engineering processes
- Manage the resolution of complex on-call incidents, implementing measures to improve long-term system health and financial integrity

Our take
Third-party cookies are on the out following Google’s announcement they will no longer be allowed on Chrome. This has dealt a blow to advertisers, who are now looking for alternative ways of targeting potential customers. Quantcast is one of the companies offering a promising alternative, using AI-driven technology to facilitate advertising based on internet traffic.
This has given Quantcast a new and unexpected injection of interest. Moreover, this long run-up has given them time to develop a product with unparalleled data accuracy and a rich raft of features that puts it head-to-head with Google Analytics.
They are also ahead of the pack in adopting a privacy-first approach, including the appointment of new Chief Privacy Officer Min-Jae Lee. With privacy regulations currently disjointed but developing fast, this appointment will help Quantcast stay a leading and trusted organization in the field.
The company was boosted by an acquisition in 2023 from mobile-first tech giant InMobi. Since then, the company has remained focused on the development and launch of new leading AI-driven products. If Quantcast can continue to deliver innovative capabilities, and inspire client confidence with its regulatory compliance, it is well insulated against the sector-wide changes anticipated over the years ahead.
