Staff Backend Engineer, Integrations

Vibe • New York, NY

9d • $195,000 - $265,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Vibe.co is building a platform that makes TV advertising targeted, measurable, and optimized for results, similar to search and social advertising. As an Audience First Streaming TV Advertising platform, Vibe provides marketers with tools to reach the right audiences, optimize campaigns in real-time, and understand business outcomes. The platform utilizes hyper-targeted segmentation, AI-powered recommendations, real-time optimization, and incrementality measurement to bring digital advertising precision to TV. Currently, over 12,000 brands use Vibe.co to reach more than 120 million households. In August 2026, Vibe.co became a Walmart company, integrating Walmart's first-party data and purchase signals to connect TV advertising with real-world transactions and measure CTV impact with high precision.

This role is within the Integrations team, which acts as the connective tissue of Vibe's platform, responsible for measurement and attribution integrations, audience connections from CRMs and CDPs, and reporting pipelines. The position is driven by the development of a first-class Developer Platform, which will expose Vibe's capabilities as a public API for external partners. Criteo is the first partner utilizing this platform.

Requirements

• 8+ years building production backend systems: APIs, data pipelines, distributed services at scale
• Strong TypeScript backend experience
• Direct ownership of a major project, start to finish, not just a contributor role on someone else's
• AWS and Terraform experience, with real architectural decision-making, not just implementation
• A high-ownership background: startup, scale-up, or anywhere you couldn't hand the hard problems to someone else

Nice To Haves

• Third-party integrations experience: ETL, webhooks, REST/GraphQL APIs
• Python/C++/Rust, alongside your TS work
• Experience designing or contributing to developer-facing platforms or public APIs
• Startup experience (~300 people or fewer), current or past. Doesn't need to be your most recent role

Responsibilities

• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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

Benefits

• Variable pay based on objectives you hit.
• 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.
• Unlimited PTO.
• Parental leave. Paid leave for all parents.
• Annual offsite. The whole team, once a year, somewhere worth the trip.
