Vibe.co is an audience-first streaming TV advertising platform that enables marketers to reach targeted audiences, optimize campaigns in real time, and measure business outcomes. The company recently became part of Walmart, gaining access to first-party data and purchase signals that allow advertisers to connect TV advertising to real-world transactions with unprecedented precision.
You will join the Integrations team as a Staff Backend Engineer, reporting to the Engineering Manager. The Integrations team owns all data flowing in and out of Vibe's platform: measurement and attribution integrations, audience connections from CRMs and CDPs, and reporting pipelines. This role is critical as Vibe builds its first-class Developer Platform, opening full platform capabilities as a public API for external partners (Criteo is the first live partner).
Key responsibilities include:
**Build and Ship Integrations**: Design and implement production-grade integrations with external platforms (CRMs, CDPs, measurement vendors, data partners). Own integration projects end-to-end from scoping through production with full accountability. Work directly with external partners to define, validate, and evolve data contracts.
**Developer Platform**: Drive the architecture of Vibe's public API covering account, advertiser, and campaign management endpoints built to scale. Build documentation, monitoring, and tooling that creates a genuinely good developer experience. Contribute to the MCP gateway and authentication layers exposing Vibe's capabilities externally.
**Reliability and Scale**: Identify weak points in existing pipelines and lead rebuilds. Set the standard for code quality on the team through reviews that move the bar. Use AI tooling to accelerate your output and raise the team's capabilities.
**Technical Leadership**: Set engineering norms and technical direction as the Integrations team grows. Weigh in on architecture decisions across the team. Partner with the Engineering Manager on technical direction and hiring calibration.
Vibe operates on three core values: Impact (tying every goal to real business outcomes), Ambition (thinking 10x rather than settling), and Urgency (moving daily rather than waiting for perfect conditions). You'll thrive here if you own outcomes without needing direction, default to action, and hold yourself to results.
**Requirements:**
- 8+ years building production backend systems (APIs, data pipelines, distributed services at scale)
- Strong TypeScript backend experience
- Direct ownership of a major project start-to-finish, not just contributor role
- AWS and Terraform experience with real architectural decision-making, not just implementation
- High-ownership background: startup, scale-up, or environment where you couldn't hand hard problems to someone else
**Nice to Haves:**
- Third-party integrations experience (ETL, webhooks, REST/GraphQL APIs)
- Python, C++, or Rust alongside TypeScript
- Experience designing or contributing to developer-facing platforms or public APIs
- Startup experience (~300 people or fewer), current or past
