Role description
As a full-stack Software Engineer you will be part of a cross-functional service-oriented team, working on extending and maintaining our Affiliate Marketing platform.

Additionally, you will work closely with the product owner and team members to translate user needs into technical solutions. Throughout the lifecycle of a service or product, from requirements to deployment, support, and maintenance, you will take a leading role, considering deadlines, balancing effort and outcome, and proactively addressing risks.
Your contribution will be vital in overcoming challenges and ensuring that our service continues to meet the needs of our business and customers.
The Team
You will be joining our Rewards tribe, a cross functional team which sits in a core part of the business. We let our advertisers define how they want to reward our publishers, and we manage transactions using an event driven architecture.
