StackAdapt is the leading technology company that empowers marketers to reach, engage, and convert audiences with precision. With 465 billion automated optimizations per second, the AI-powered StackAdapt Marketing Platform seamlessly connects brand and performance marketing to drive measurable results across the entire customer journey. The most forward-thinking marketers choose StackAdapt to orchestrate high-impact campaigns across programmatic advertising and marketing channels.
The Data Delivery team builds the systems that help StackAdapt customers and internal teams understand campaign performance.
We process, organize, and serve large volumes of campaign and marketing data so it can be used reliably across customer-facing dashboards, reporting, billing, planning, campaign pacing, measurement, exports, and internal analytics.
Our work turns raw activity — such as impressions, clicks, conversions, spend, pacing, audience reach, creative performance, and cross-channel engagement — into accurate and actionable insights.
The team works closely with product managers, backend engineers, web engineers, data scientists, analysts, business teams, and customer-facing teams to make data accurate, timely, scalable, and easy to use.
StackAdapt is expanding into the next generation of AI-powered advertising and marketing execution. As the platform grows across media, email, social, and emerging AI-powered channels, customers need a trusted view of performance across the full customer journey.
The Data Delivery team is at the forefront of making this possible. We build the reporting, measurement, planning, billing, API, export, and data-serving systems that help customers trust the data, understand performance, and optimize campaigns.
As a Staff Software Engineer I on Data Delivery, you will lead complex technical initiatives across backend systems, with a focus on measurement and planning. You will act as a project and domain DRI for this area: translating product requirements into technical requirements, clarifying feasibility and trade-offs, shaping milestones, identifying risks, and keeping execution moving.
You will partner closely with product, engineering, and engineering management to recommend technical options, push back on unrealistic plans when needed, and help the team make sound decisions. Your work will help build the technical foundation for reliable customer-facing insights and make new product capabilities easier to launch and scale.
