Job Description
Senior Software Engineer, Backend Focus
Calliere Group
• Architect and implement systems that collect, store, and surface insights from large-scale creative and performance datasets. • Build robust APIs empowering clients, dashboards, and data consumers across the company. • Improve how marketers visualize and act on creative data through unified, reliable backend systems. • Diagnose and solve performance bottlenecks, infrastructure challenges, and integration issues. • Collaborate with a talented team to evolve architecture, tooling, and development processes as we grow.
Job Requirements
- 6+ years of experience building production-grade systems or APIs at scale.
- Are fluent in at least one strongly typed modern language (TypeScript, Go, or similar).
- Have hands-on experience with queuing systems, data streaming, or asynchronous processing.
- Understand how to model, aggregate, and move data intelligently (bonus if you’ve worked with ETL or analytics-heavy systems).
- Communicate clearly and confidently with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Thrive in ambiguity — you enjoy shaping problems rather than waiting for them to be defined.
- Care about delivering real business impact, optimizing for speed and iteration over theory.
Benefits
- Real ownership and autonomy: Your code makes a visible impact from day one.
- Strong compensation: Competitive salary, meaningful equity, great benefits, generous PTO, and a dedicated wellness budget.
- Remote-first culture: Work wherever you’re most effective. We have hubs across North America and Europe for those who enjoy occasional in-person collaboration.
- Momentum and scale: Our product adoption is accelerating fast — and you’ll help define what the next generation of creative intelligence looks like.
- Collaborative team: We value curiosity, low ego, and building together. The best idea wins — no matter who proposes it.
