We work at the intersection of backend infrastructure, data systems, and internal product development, partnering closely with engineers, data scientists, and statisticians.
About the Role:
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Experiment Platform team, you will lead the design and evolution of high-leverage systems that shape how Moloco runs experiments across products.

- Own technical decisions for platform areas that require balancing correctness, reliability, performance, and ease of adoption.
- Improve the trustworthiness of experimentation by strengthening system design, observability, data quality, and operational standards.
- Partner closely with engineers, data scientists, statisticians, and stakeholders to turn ambiguous requirements into scalable platform capabilities.
- Mentor other engineers through design discussions, code reviews, and pragmatic technical leadership.
Minimum Qualifications:
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience in a production environment.
- Strong hands-on experience in backend systems, data infrastructure, distributed systems, or other relevant platform areas.
- Proven ability to independently drive technical projects from problem definition through production rollout in ambiguous problem spaces.
- Strong engineering judgment in system design, operational reliability, maintainability, and cross-functional execution.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience designing and implementing experimentation platforms, A/B testing systems, feature flagging systems, or dynamic configuration platforms.
- Experience owning platform or infrastructure systems used by multiple engineering teams.
- Experience working with analytical data systems, metrics pipelines, or data quality and correctness challenges.
