Our Ads Engineering team is looking for a python backend engineer to help develop Ads-oriented solutions across a wide variety of applications in our ad’s ecosystem.

You'll work with many other ad engineering teams, as well as many teams outside of that space. You'll also work closely with our product management team, who in turn work tirelessly to distill our stakeholders' needs for us. You will be fully invested in all these interactions, striving always to enable others. You prize creativity, simplicity, pragmatism and attention to detail, and we do too.
