Beyond client work, we operate our own high-revenue web product with a website, mobile app, and machine learning systems powering our ad-tech optimization engine. Performance is not a preference here, it is a core requirement.
We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer, who will be the technical authority, responsible for all development, architecture decisions, and long-term technical strategy across a website, mobile app, and ML-powered ad-tech optimization systems.
This is a full-time independent contractor engagement. You will work hands-on at a senior level where site speed and server performance are core success metrics. You will work directly with stakeholders to set technical direction, remove bottlenecks, and ship production-grade code.

  • Architecture design and long-term technical strategy
  • Server-side rendering pipeline using Node.js, Fastify 5, and React 19
  • Data layer across MySQL and BigQuery
  • GCP infrastructure including Cloud Run, Cloud Build, and Global Load Balancer
  • Ad-tech integrations including Google Ad Manager, GTM, GTag, and GPT.js
  • Performance optimization at scale, where every millisecond counts

  • BigQuery for querying and managing large-scale datasets
  • GCP with hands-on experience in Cloud Run, Cloud Build, Cloud SQL, and Load Balancing. GCP certification is a significant bonus.

Nice-to-Have Experience
  • Ad-tech industry experience including ad serving, yield optimization, and programmatic advertising
  • Affiliate marketing experience, particularly with Anura and Everflow
  • Cloudflare including CDN configuration, caching strategies, and Workers
  • Fastify, especially Fastify 5 patterns
  • Flutter for mobile app contribution
  • Golang or Rust for high-performance service work
  • Machine learning applied to ad-tech optimization (not LLMs or agents)
  • Experience in DeFi, crypto, NFT, blockchain, fintech, or healthcare verticals

Benefits
  • Fully remote work
  • Flexible hours
  • Paid vacation and sick days
