Full Stack Engineer, Total Media

About the role

Total Media Engineering is focused on constructing the foundational infrastructure that powers the future of advertising operations. In this capacity, you will own the complete lifecycle for intake, build, review, and deployment of media integrations that directly influence campaign reliability. Your daily production-grade code will orchestrate interactions with 465 billion automated optimizations per second, ensuring seamless connectivity between brand and performance marketing channels. You will architect intake pipelines that normalize diverse partner payloads and design the lifecycle state machines that govern complex advertising entity hierarchies. Collaboration with architects and engineers is essential as you establish robust reliability patterns and implement secure OAuth 2.0 flows for third-party ecosystems. This role serves as a core entry point for multi-channel strategy, demanding end-to-end ownership of projects from initial design through deployment. You will translate intricate partner validation errors into clear guidance while creating idempotent workflows that support retries and system resilience. This position is fully remote-first, welcoming engineers located anywhere in Canada.
