Software Engineer (Scala) - Advertiser - Remote UK

Permutive is looking for an enthusiastic and curious Software Engineer who is excited to work and learn alongside our experienced Advertisers team.

Once up to speed here with the tools and technologies, you will use a wide range of approaches to build a functionality which solves brand new problems for our customers and helps them deliver value through our platform.

You will join a team of engineers who own the process of building new product features and managing the whole development process, including design, coding, testing, deploying, and monitoring.

The Team and Technologies

The Advertisers Team is building a greenfield product that allows advertisers to tap into the huge amount of publisher data that flows through the Permutive platform. The product supports cohort targeting, modelling & data analytics and is designed to transition advertisers away from the creepy tracking technologies that they use today to a world where user privacy is a first-class citizen. This is a new idea in the industry so adaptability and innovation are key.

We would love to hear from Software Engineers that have knowledge or an interest in working with some of the technologies we use:

Scala:

cats, cats-effect, fs2, http4s, circe, doobie, tapir

Infrastructure:

Kubernetes, Kafka, Bigtable, Redis, Postgres, Grafana, Terraform, Cloud Run

The Role

You will be responsible for helping the team to design and build out new services and components needed to make the new advertiser platform a success.

The wider context

Permutive is a B2B SaaS company building the data platform and tools for a world with a trillion edge devices. We have product–market fit and customers that love us, and we’re 90+ people and growing rapidly in Europe and the US. We have received funding from some of the world’s best investors, including Y Combinator.

We’re 30+ engineers working to build an outstanding engineering culture so that everyone who joins has the opportunity and the support to do the best work of their life. Small, autonomous teams are important to us, and we want to empower everyone to make—and be accountable for—decisions through ownership.

Everything we build has to scale: our platform handles more requests each day than there are new tweets and Google searches, and each month we see more than a billion users. We think applying functional programming techniques like compositionality and type-safety is the best way to build the type of massive distributed system our platform comprises, allowing us to move fast without sacrificing quality.

The ideal candidate will have

• Understanding of functional programming and general software engineering concepts.
• Experience with Scala programming.
• Some experience with data engineering.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Good product awareness.

We'd be particularly excited if you have one or more of the below

• Familiarity with probabilistic data structures (eg Bloom filters, HLL etc).
• Experience working within user privacy constraints.
• Familiarity with Apache Kafka or similar messaging system.
• Familiarity with functional Scala libraries, e.g. Cats or fs2.
• Familiarity with microservices, e.g. using Kubernetes.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP.

Salary

We take a structured, objective approach to salary-setting, which is based on market information, our compensation strategy, and your experience and capability as assessed through our interview process.

For a typical candidate with strong Scala experience plus most of our requirements we would likely pay £70,000 + options.

For a candidate with a breadth of experience, and who meets several of our bonus criteria, we’d pay up to £105,000 + options.
