Lead Software Engineer

Job Summary 

We are seeking an Engineering Team Lead to join our Fort Worth, Texas headquarters and help lead the growth and development of our engineering team. As an integral part of the engineering team, you will collaborate with an expansive network of global technology partners, making it possible for advertisers to reach consumers around the world for travel booking, online retail shopping and more.

• Reduce dependence on custom development by building configuration-driven, reusable frameworks and enablement patterns
• Partner closely with engineering leadership to identify technical bottlenecks and drive long-term platform and architectural improvements
• Serve as a technical mentor, elevating engineering standards, code quality, and best practices across the team
• Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver solutions that align with business needs while remaining maintainable and extensible
• Design and develop tools and shared libraries that expand automation capabilities and improve developer productivity
• Actively participate in technical discussions and decision-making, contributing ideas and perspectives that shape our engineering direction

What You'll Bring

• Minimum of 8+ years of experience building enterprise-scale applications
• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field, with 
• Strong engineering fundamentals with a deep understanding of software design principles and best practices
• Strong coding fundamentals with experience in object-oriented languages, with a preference for Java or C#.
• Experience working with both relational and non-relational data stores, including SQL Server and Redis
• Hands-on experience running and supporting large-scale applications in AWS and/or Azure
• Strong background in CI/CD pipelines, automation, and modern development workflows
• Proven ability to create architectural patterns that prioritize reuse, configurability, and ease of onboarding
• Demonstrated experience reducing technical complexity and development effort through thoughtful system design
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to influence technical direction
• Experience mentoring and supporting the growth of other engineers
• A pragmatic mindset that balances speed, quality, and long-term maintainability

* This role is based out of our Fort Worth, Texas headquarters. We are not accepting remote applications at this time.
