Backend Engineer

Vibe • New York, NY

22h • Hybrid

About The Position

You'll join the Integrations team, the connective tissue of Vibe's platform. The team owns all data 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 an API so external partners can build on top of us. Three reasons to want this: you'll be among the first engineers building this team in New York from the ground up, you'll ship integrations with marquee partners while owning foundational architecture, and you'll work in an environment where AI-augmented development is the norm, not an afterthought.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience shipping production-grade software in TypeScript and Python, you've written it, debugged it, owned it
• Comfort working across the full stack: APIs, data pipelines, and infrastructure (AWS, Terraform)
• Exposure to low-level programming concepts, C or C++ experience is a plus; knowing how memory and concurrency actually work is the bar
• A startup or high-ownership background, you've operated without a team for every problem and figured things out
• Strong instincts for code quality: you give real feedback in reviews and can receive it the same way

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience building or maintaining third-party integrations (ETL, webhooks, REST/GraphQL APIs)
• Familiarity with GCP or multi-cloud environments
• Experience designing or contributing to developer-facing platforms or public APIs

Responsibilities

• Build & Ship Integrations: Design and implement integrations with external platforms, CRMs, CDPs, measurement vendors, and data partners
• Own integration projects end-to-end, from scoping to production with minimal hand-holding
• Collaborate directly with external partners to define and validate data contracts
• Developer Platform: Build the infrastructure for Vibe's public API, account, advertiser, and campaign management endpoints
• Develop documentation, monitoring, and tooling that makes the developer experience first-class
• Contribute to MCP gateway and authentication layers that expose Vibe's capabilities externally
• Reliability & Scale: Identify bottlenecks in existing pipelines and rebuild them to handle growing data volume
• Write code that your team can review, extend, and trust, not just code that ships
• Use AI tooling actively to accelerate development and close quality gaps

Benefits

• Variable pay — based on objectives you hit. No arbitrary targets.
• Hybrid flexibility — We're in NYC's Flatiron District and our team is in 3x a week!
• Full health coverage — Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with matching — We invest in your future, not just your output.
• Unlimited PTO — Take the time you need. We measure results, not hours.
• Parental leave — Paid leave for all parents.
• Annual offsite — The whole team, once a year, somewhere worth the trip.
