Magnite
Overview
Senior Engineer — Backend APIs (Java) Locations: New York City, NY; Boston, MA; Los Angeles, CA; Denver, CO; Seattle, WA; San Francisco, CA; Remote (approved states listed below). Magnite is the world’s largest independent sell-side advertising platform. Publishers use our technology to monetize content across screens and formats including CTV/streaming, online video, display, and audio. Our Reporting & Insights group powers our flagship analytics products and is building the next‑generation Unified Reporting API. We are adding a senior backend engineer to accelerate a high‑impact roadmap and partner closely with UI and Data teams. Responsibilities
Design, build, and evolve microservice‑based API products that power reporting and analytics applications. Collaborate daily with Product, UI, and Data engineers to take features end‑to‑end — from requirements and design to rollout, telemetry, and iteration. Design and build APIs that are intuitive and easy to consume: clear contracts (OpenAPI/gRPC), well‑documented, versioning strategies, pagination, filtering, batching, and strong SLAs/SLOs. Shape data access patterns: schemas, query plans, caching, and performance tuning in read/writes for big data. Champion code quality: well‑tested, observable, maintainable code; thoughtful reviews; design docs; and pragmatic documentation. Own services in production: dashboards, alerting, capacity and load testing, cost‑aware design, and reliability improvements. Mentor teammates, share knowledge, and help raise the technical bar across the organization. Qualifications
5+ years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years with Java. Deep understanding of microservice fundamentals (service boundaries, resiliency, observability, CI/CD) and API design at scale. Hands‑on experience with MySQL (or other RDBMS): modeling, migrations, indexing, and query optimization. A track record of shipping well‑tested, production‑grade APIs used by UI applications and direct API consumers. Proficiency with Git/GitHub and modern team practices (reviews, trunk/branch strategies, code ownership). Clear, empathetic communication and a collaborative mindset. Nice to Have
Exposure to cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and container orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes). Experience with event‑driven or streaming architectures. Experience with frameworks like Vert.x to build non‑blocking, event‑driven systems. Understanding of authN/Z patterns (OAuth2/JWT), rate limiting, and API security. Observability tools and practices (metrics, tracing, logs) and load/perf testing. Experience working with distributed/remote teams. Knowledge of Real‑Time Bidding (RTB), SSPs, DSPs, and ad delivery systems is a strong plus. Experience with Terraform. Perks and Benefits
