Upwave (YC S12) | Senior Software Engineer | REMOTE (US) | Full-time | $150k-$175k + bonus/equity/benefits | https://www.upwave.com/job/8547924002/
Upwave builds brand measurement software for large advertisers, agencies, and media partners. We process high-volume ad exposure + survey/event data and turn it into brand lift, reach validation, optimization recommendations, and AI-assisted analysis for enterprise marketers.
We're looking for a senior full-stack/backend-leaning engineer who likes owning real production systems end to end. The strongest candidates for us tend to have concrete experience with JVM/Spring/Kotlin or similar backend systems, SQL/data modeling, AWS/Kubernetes/observability, and high-volume event or analytics pipelines. AdTech/MarTech/measurement experience is a plus, but not required if you enjoy learning messy business domains deeply.
The work includes building APIs and data pipelines, productionizing analytics/statistical workflows with Product and Data Science, improving reliability/performance, and building AI-powered customer experiences around our internal AI analyst, Bayes. Stack includes Kotlin/Java, Python analytics services, React, MySQL, DynamoDB, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform and LLM orchestration.
We're profitable/growth-stage, remote-first in the US, and engineering-led: high velocity through focus and leverage, not crunch. Interview process includes an in-person meeting.
