About VideoAmp

VideoAmp is the tech-first measurement company transforming how advertising is valued, bought, and sold. Powered by currency-grade big data and a best-in-class technology stack, our platform gives advertisers, publishers, and agencies the ability to plan, optimize, and measure media investments across every screen — from linear TV and OTT to CTV and digital video.

VideoAmp is accelerating investment in agentic AI and intelligent optimization technologies — helping clients drive measurable, real-world outcomes in an increasingly complex media landscape. With 880% year-over-year measurement growth, 98% coverage of the TV publisher ecosystem, and partnerships with 11 agency groups and 1,000+ advertisers, we're not just keeping pace with the industry — we're defining what comes next.

We believe great work requires great people — people who say "I'll find a way" instead of "it can't be done."

The Role

As a Backend Engineer on our API Engineering team, you will build and scale the APIs that power the VideoAmp platform — the core services that enable clients to plan media, activate campaigns, and measure deduplicated audiences across linear and digital environments.

You'll focus on production-caliber API engineering: building highly performant, secure, and reliable services, backed by modern orchestration, observability, and data systems. Your work directly impacts how major brands and publishers value, transact, and measure advertising, and you'll collaborate closely with teams across Data Science, Measurement, Product, and Engineering Services.

We're looking for someone who is a self-starter, detail-minded, collaborative, and thrives in a high-ownership environment.

What You'll Do

• Work comfortably and competently with agentic AI development tools such as Claude Code and CoPilot.
• Design, test, build, and scale production-grade APIs using Go (with occasional Python/JavaScript).
• Improve and maintain core API services that power large-scale planning and measurement workflows.
• Implement and optimize process orchestration using Temporal and Airflow.
• Ensure API resiliency, observability, and performance through rigorous monitoring, tracing, and alerting.
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners to translate product requirements into architectural designs and execution plans.
• Contribute to team-wide best practices across API design, security, testing, and service reliability.
• Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, and collaborative planning sessions.
• Support continuous improvement through thoughtful documentation, automation, and consensus-driven decision-making.

What You'll Bring

• 7+ years of experience in backend or web application development.
• Strong programming skills in Go, with experience in Python or JavaScript a plus.
• Deep experience building scalable, secure, and reliable production APIs.
• Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL and Snowflake.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Ability to distill technical requirements, build consensus, and drive work from design → implementation → monitoring.
• A self-starter who is detail-oriented, results-driven, and prefers collaboration over top-down leadership styles.
• Experience in Ad Tech, particularly in planning, audience measurement, or viewership data, is greatly preferred.
