Senior Software Engineer (Reporting Engine)

About the Team:

Smartly proudly houses Bobby Tables, a team dedicated to crafting a robust reporting ecosystem. Our number-crunching service, a critical component of the Smartly AI-powered advertising platform, efficiently handles diverse data sources, making it an indispensable data powerhouse. Clients effortlessly analyze ad campaign performances with our intuitive report builder and data visualizer tool.

The customer-facing interface to the online analytical processing (OLAP) system for complex analysis is viewed by 90% of our customers. It provides a framework for a variety of Campaign Management and Optimization features. In the backend, the challenges lie in a massive database scale (several terabytes of data), complex database queries with a flexible query language via REST API, and collaboration with numerous stakeholders on both client and data ingestion sides. The data structures have evolved from being focused on one ad-serving channel to being abstract, cross-channel. Reporting engine uptime SLO is 99.95% - we implement best practices in rolling out changes to achieve the target of being a stable data source for our customers, both internal and external.

Technologies we work with: Backend: TypeScript (Node.js), Ruby, PostgreSQL, Redis Frontend: TypeScript (React) Check out our Engineering at Smartly site to learn how our engineering and product development work.
