## Description (the employer's text)

Streaming TV is no longer just a brand awareness channel. It’s becoming a core part of the performance marketing mix, alongside search and social. Vibe.co is building the platform that makes TV work like the rest of the acquisition stack: targeted, measurable, and optimized for results.

Vibe.co is an Audience First Streaming TV Advertising platform that gives marketers the tools to reach the right audiences, optimize campaigns in real time, and understand what’s actually driving business outcomes. With hyper-targeted segmentation, AI-powered recommendations, real-time optimization, and incrementality measurement, Vibe brings the precision and accountability of digital advertising to the biggest screen in the house.

Today, more than 12,000 brands use Vibe.co to reach 120 million+ households. And in August 2026, Vibe.co became a Walmart company, opening up a new chapter for the business and the industry. With Walmart’s first-party data and purchase signals now part of the Vibe platform, advertisers can connect TV advertising to real-world transactions and measure the impact of CTV with a level of precision previously associated with platforms like Google and Meta.

This is a unique moment to join Vibe. With Walmart’s scale, data, and reach behind us, we’re building the next generation of TV advertising and creating a more measurable, performance-driven future for the channel.

### About the Role

You'll join the Integrations team, the connective tissue of Vibe's platform, reporting to the Engineering Manager. The team owns everything flowing in and out of Vibe: measurement and attribution integrations, audience connections from CRMs and CDPs, and reporting pipelines.

This role exists because we're building a first-class Developer Platform: opening Vibe's full capabilities as a public API so external partners can build on top of us. Criteo is the first partner live on it.

Three reasons to want this:

You'll be one of the most senior engineers on Integrations, setting technical direction for a team that's still small enough for one person's decisions to shape it

You'll own the foundational architecture for a platform external partners are already building against

AI-augmented development is the expectation here, not the experiment

### What You'll Do

### 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 for outcomes

Work directly with external partners to define, validate, and evolve data contracts

### Developer Platform

Drive the architecture of Vibe's public API: account, advertiser, and campaign management endpoints built to scale

Build the documentation, monitoring, and tooling that makes the developer experience genuinely good

Contribute to the MCP gateway and authentication layers that expose Vibe's capabilities externally

### Reliability and scale

Find the weak points in existing pipelines and lead the rebuild

Set the standard for code quality on the team: your reviews move the bar, not just the diff

Use AI tooling to accelerate your own output and raise the team's

### Technical leadership

Set engineering norms and technical direction as the Integrations team grows

Weigh in on architecture decisions across the team, not just your own projects

Partner with the Engineering Manager on technical direction and hiring calibration

### What You Need

Production backend TypeScript experience is required. You've built, shipped, and operated backend services, APIs, or microservices using TypeScript and Node.js.

Backend-leaning work. At least half your recent work is services, APIs, data models, and integrations. Fullstack is fine if the backend side is real.

You build for users. You've shipped features customers or partners actually use. You've worked with product on what to build, pushed back on scope, and changed course when feedback came in.

Ownership you can point to. A project you took from scoping to production and stayed accountable for after launch.
