Our loyalty-driven ecosystem connects millions of users with the world’s top apps and delivers unmatched, ROI-focused growth for mobile advertisers.

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the team building the core systems behind Scrambly. In this role, you will work across two key areas: user-facing product systems - solving complex scalability challenges for a platform serving millions of users globally, - and the internal platform, covering admin systems, tooling, and back-office automation that power our operations team.

Your focus will be on writing robust, high-performance code and bridging the gap between product requirements and technical reality. You will work within a modern tech stack to ensure our systems remain fast, reliable, and easy to maintain as we grow.
