SDK Engineer information

What is an SDK engineer?

An SDK Engineer is a software developer who specializes in designing, building, and maintaining Software Development Kits (SDKs). SDKs are collections of tools, libraries, and documentation that enable other developers to build applications for specific platforms or services. SDK Engineers ensure these kits are robust, easy to use, and well-documented, often working closely with product teams and external developers. Their role may include writing code samples, managing updates, and troubleshooting integration issues.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an SDK engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an SDK Engineer, you need strong programming skills (often in languages like Java, C++, or Swift), a solid understanding of API design, and experience with software development lifecycles, typically backed by a degree in computer science or related field. Familiarity with version control systems (like Git), build tools, automated testing frameworks, and continuous integration systems is essential. Excellent problem-solving abilities, clear communication, and a collaborative mindset help you work effectively with product teams and external developers. These skills ensure the development of robust, user-friendly SDKs that accelerate integration and adoption across diverse platforms.

What are some common challenges SDK engineers face when integrating SDKs with various platforms?

SDK Engineers often encounter challenges related to compatibility and performance when integrating SDKs across different platforms, such as iOS, Android, and web. Ensuring consistent functionality and user experience despite varying platform constraints and dependencies requires thorough testing and strong debugging skills. Additionally, SDK Engineers must stay updated with frequent platform updates and changes to maintain seamless integration and minimize technical debt. Collaboration with product managers, QA testers, and client developers is essential to address integration issues quickly and effectively.

What is the difference between Sdk Engineer vs Mobile Developer?

AspectSdk EngineerMobile Developer
Required SkillsSDK development, API integration, programming (Java, C++, Python)Mobile app development, UI/UX design, programming (Swift, Kotlin)
Work EnvironmentSoftware companies, tech firms, API providersApp development companies, startups, tech firms
CertificationsRelevant programming certifications, API design coursesMobile development certifications (e.g., Android, iOS)
Industry UsageHigh in companies creating SDKs for platforms or servicesHigh in companies building consumer-facing mobile apps

While both roles involve programming and software development, Sdk Engineers focus on creating and maintaining SDKs and APIs used by developers, whereas Mobile Developers primarily build mobile applications for end-users. The roles often overlap in programming skills but differ in their core focus and deliverables.

Job description

Kargo creates powerful moments of connection between brands and consumers to build businesses. Every day, our dynamic teams work to radically raise the bar on what agentic AI, CTV, eCommerce, social, and mobile can do to deliver unique ad experiences across the world's most premium platforms. Taking a Creative Science approach to all we do, we continuously innovate solutions that outperform industry benchmarks and client expectations. Kargo is growing rapidly and currently has offices in NYC, Chicago, LA, Dallas, Sydney, Auckland, London and Waterford, Ireland.
Who We Hire
Techies who want to build the future. Creatives who want to design it better. Communicators to win business. Collaborators to build it. Data pros who turn numbers into insights. Product builders who turn ideas into innovations. Anyone eager to be on a team that doesn't stop to ask what's next, because they're already building it.
The Opportunity
Kargo is hiring a senior engineer to keep our in-app advertising reliable, performant, and revenue-ready across a fragmented ecosystem of devices, SDKs, mediation layers, and demand sources. This role owns deep technical investigation across the full ad lifecycle-from bid response through rendering and measurement-and helps elevate in-app advertising into a first-class part of Kargo's platform.
The Daily To-Do
  • Diagnose complex in-app failures spanning rendering, SDK behavior, mediation, and attribution-isolating root cause across SDK, mediation, creative, and demand boundaries instead of patching symptoms
  • Ship improvements to SDK and rendering infrastructure that improve render success rates and stability across iOS, Android, WebViews, and mediation partners
  • Deliver latency and efficiency optimizations across the ad stack with quantifiable gains in load time or resource use
  • Partner with Business Development to evaluate and bring online new vendor and demand integrations, weighing opportunities on technical merit and long-term maintainability
  • Drive production issues to resolution across engineering, product, and ops without dropping the thread, measurably reducing partner-facing escalations
  • Communicate technical findings clearly to Business Development, partners, and non-engineers
  • Raise engineering quality through code review, testing discipline, and thoughtful use of AI-assisted workflows so production defects in the rendering path trend down quarter over quarter

Qualifications
  • 5+ years of software engineering with significant exposure to mobile app advertising technologies
  • Strong grasp of the mobile programmatic ecosystem-mediation, bidding, SDK integrations, OpenRTB, and ad rendering workflows
  • Hands-on experience with mobile ad creative standards and cross-platform behavior across SDKs, WebViews, and mediation partners
  • Proven ability to debug the full in-app stack, from creative delivery through rendering and attribution
  • Performance engineering fundamentals: latency optimization, scalability, and system efficiency
  • Fluency with real-device QA, inspection and proxy tooling, and production debugging techniques
  • Preferred: working knowledge of the mobile privacy and measurement landscape and its impact on ad serving and attribution, plus a Bachelor's in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline

In accordance with applicable federal, state, and local pay transparency laws, the anticipated base salary range for this position is listed below. In addition to base salary, this role is eligible for variable compensation - either the Kargo Sales Incentive Plan (sales roles) or an annual discretionary bonus (all other roles). Actual compensation may vary based on factors such as geographic location, work experience, education, and skills.
