Senior Software Engineer, Full Stack

Samba is a media intelligence company that uses real-time consumer attention data. The Product Engineering team builds customer-facing platforms, internal tooling, and APIs. This role involves owning features end-to-end across frontend, backend, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.

• Own features end-to-end — frontend interfaces, backend services and APIs, data models, and the infrastructure that runs them
• Write and maintain analytical SQL over large-scale datasets (BigQuery); understand the domain well enough to extend measurement logic correctly
• Design and operate data pipelines and caching layers that sit between raw data and the product surface
• Maintain and evolve the auth and authorization model across Firebase, Auth0, and Firestore security rules
• Manage multi-cloud integrations across GCP (BigQuery, Cloud Functions, Firestore, Cloud Storage) and AWS (S3)
• Hold a high bar for testing, observability, and reliability — you instrument what you ship and own its behavior in production
• Participate in architecture reviews, contribute to the technical roadmap, and mentor junior engineers

• 5-8 years of experience building and operating production software
• Strong command of TypeScript or JavaScript across frontend and backend
• Experience building backend services and APIs — RESTful design, authentication patterns, token-based auth flows
• Comfortable writing non-trivial SQL — window functions, aggregations, query optimization; BigQuery or similar analytical datastore experience a plus
• Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure: serverless or managed compute, object storage, secret management, scheduled jobs
• Familiarity with eventual consistency and cache invalidation patterns in distributed systems
• Proficient in agentic development — building or integrating LLM-powered workflows, tool-use patterns, or AI agents in production
• Comfortable doing archaeology in production codebases — reading unfamiliar code, identifying live vs. legacy paths, and making safe changes
• Nice to have: Experience with React and modern frontend architecture patterns
• Nice to have: Firebase platform experience: Cloud Functions, Firestore, Authentication
• Nice to have: GCP and/or AWS in production; comfort across both is a strong plus
• Nice to have: Background in ad tech, audience measurement, or CTV/OTT platforms
• Nice to have: Exposure to ad measurement concepts: reach, frequency, attribution, exposure modeling

• Base salary between $160,000 - $200,000 per year
• Bonuses, short-term incentives, and long-term incentives
• Health insurance, wellness offerings, life and disability insurance
• Retirement savings plan
• Paid holidays and paid time off (PTO)
• Other employee benefits
