Senior Software Engineer - Platform

We want engineers who are passionate about making the internet a better place.

Kevel is a cloud-based service for building custom, ad serving solutions quickly and easily. We are looking for a talented Senior Software Engineer with 5-10 years experience to join our growing Platform team!

What you’ll accomplish: 

• Evolve the ad decision pipeline, including balancing and pacing, indexing, filtering, selection and budgeting.
• Improve the platforms architectural qualities, helping ensure our foundation provides the scalability, reliability, security and performance our global customers require.
• Work closely with the product management team to help design and build new features.
• Help provide operational oversight for the platform, making sure we are up and running 24/7.
• Work closely with our customer success teams to deliver value and drive growth.

You would be a member of an engineering team that values:

• Constant improvement. If your processes have a way to improve themselves, you’ll never be stuck in a rut. We hold retros, and we value and protect the ability of any team member to say, “This can and should be better.” We value experimentation, especially when coupled with measurement.
• Balance. We’re a collaborative team. We kick ideas around. The more viewpoints we have, the more likely we are to hear a good idea we haven’t thought of. We all have the opportunity to work on all parts of the system. No one is stuck working on the legacy systems full time.
• Working to live, not living to work. We take our work seriously. We strive to make the best software we can for our clients. Software is a marathon, not a sprint. We work hard, but at a sustainable pace, and do better work as a result.
• Autonomy. One of our core values as a company is, “We’re all adults.” We do code reviews and sometimes we pair program, but we trust each other. If you thought about the problem and have an opinion, your teammates will listen.
• Mastery. Our CEO started out as a software engineer. Our VP of Engineering writes Clojure. We have an engineering team with decades of collective experience writing high-quality, fault-tolerant distributed systems. We love taking on and solving hard problems. We love learning.
• A sense of purpose. We know what problem we’re trying to solve: to provide a first-rate ad serving platform to our global customers while continuing to evolve our product to meet the needs of the future.

Why you’ll love working with us:

• You will be part of an inclusive and collaborative team environment where all opinions and values are heard.
• We operate remotely. We are a fully distributed team across the US and UK.
• You’ll receive world class benefits including:
• 100% company paid health, vision, and dental for you and your family.
• Paid parental leave benefits (12 weeks paid maternity, 4 weeks paid paternity)
• Free press benefits 
• 401k (with 4% company match)
• Unlimited vacation (with total support to take at least 5 consecutive days off per year)
• 8 Paid Holidays + Kevel Holiday Break (office closed 12/24 - 1/1 every year!)
• Flexible schedules (you decide when and where you work best)
• We embrace transparency and encourage you to read more about what we value through ourCompany Constitution and Employee Bill of Rights, our About Kevel page, and Careers Page.
