Senior Software Engineer

Job Description

Overview and Responsibilities:

Paramount's Advanced Advertising has been leading the charge in data and data science for nearly a decade. Our ground breaking tools and systems empower advertisers by seamlessly integrating their campaigns with our award-winning programming, driving our business. As we grow, we're improving our systems to be more robust and scalable. We believe in the power of partnership, spending most of our time in always-on video rooms to facilitate face-to-face interaction and seamless collaboration. We work closely with our product, data science, operations, and sales teams to deliver top-notch software. At Paramount, we know that our best work is done together, not alone.

About this role:

As a Senior Software Engineer in Advanced Advertising, you'll take ownership of complex, high-impact projects that drive our mission forward. Your deep expertise in our tech stack will be key as you design, build, and maintain scalable systems and data pipelines. You'll be hands-on, shipping code to production, conducting code reviews, and helping improve the reliability and performance of our systems. In this role, you'll collaborate closely with multi-functional teams-product, data science, and stakeholders-to gather requirements and ensure we're solving the right problems with the right solutions. We value your input, and you'll have the autonomy to make key technical decisions while also having the support of more experienced engineers when needed. This is a role for someone who enjoys solving technical challenges, contributing to system design, and driving improvements in how we work.

About you:

You're a generalist engineer who has a passion for solving human problems. You've worked with large and complex systems that would overwhelm the average person, but you accept the challenge! You love collaborating with other engineers and working with partners to figure out what the best solution to a problem might be!

Basic Qualifications:
• 4+ years of experience working on production codebases: this is a senior role with a lot of responsibility, and we're looking for people who can bring their unique experiences in all areas of the stack to the team.
• Experience with at least 2 modern programming languages: preferably both statically typed and dynamically typed.
• 4 years of experience using SQL and production databases: much of what we do is in the data, and we need someone who can easily find their way around.

Additional Qualifications:
• Experience with Typescript and/or Python or a willingness to learn both Typescript and Python is necessary
• REST and/or GraphQL APIs
• Functional Programming
• Containers, Docker, and Kubernetes
• Workflow management tools (e.g., Argo Workflows, Airflow, AWS Step Functions)
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) - Terraform if possible
• A cloud platform such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
• Data Warehouses such as Snowflake, Redshift, or Big Query
• Cloud-based object storage such as S3 or GCS
• Learning and understanding the inner workings of the tools you use our tech stack
