DanAds is transforming its architecture to become truly platform-first and we are now looking for a Platform Lead Back-End Developer to design the reusable, high-performance microservices that will power our global self-serve advertising products.

About the position

This is a direct recruitment, which means that the recruitment process takes place through Bravura and you are employed directly by DanAds.

About the company

DanAds is a leading global SaaS company within AdTech, providing automated self-service advertising platforms for publishers and brands worldwide. Our technology helps media owners streamline ad sales, operations, and creative workflows, empowering advertisers of all sizes to buy media in a transparent, efficient way.

• Act as gatekeeper of the API, defining and maintaining strict OpenAPI contracts – no implementation starts until the contract is in place.

• Drive a serverless-first architecture on AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, EventBridge) to support a “scale-to-zero” cost model and strong FinOps discipline.

• Apply a “reusability filter” to new features: reject one-off, “snowflake” logic and instead design generic capabilities that can serve many customers.

• Enforce data standards such as the Ad Context Protocol (AdCP) across services, ensuring a unified data language within our AdTech ecosystem.

• Implement robust multi-tenancy and logical isolation so that tenant data is strictly separated, enforcing policies via JWT and row-level security patterns.

• Be a hands-on technical leader who writes the “golden path” templates, libraries and patterns that other developers build upon.

• Conduct rigorous code reviews to ensure our non-functional requirements are met — including latency (<200 ms), 99.99% availability and strong observability.

• Translate commercial and product requirements into clear technical designs — turning “we need better sales” into “we need a Recommendation Engine API”.

In short, you will:

• Own and evolve the core backend platform and microservices

• Define and maintain high-quality API contracts and standards

• Drive AWS serverless architecture and FinOps best practices

• Enforce multi-tenancy, security, and data standards across services

• Mentor other engineers and set the technical bar for back-end development

Required experience

• 7+ years of backend engineering experience, with a strong focus on API design and microservices.

• Deep experience with AWS, especially Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, and CloudFormation and/or Terraform / AWS CDK.

• Strong skills in TypeScript/Node.js for building scalable backend services.

• Proven track record designing and implementing RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs, treating them as products (versioning, documentation, backward compatibility).

• Solid understanding of multi-tenant architectures, security and data isolation.

• Experience working with event-driven architectures and distributed systems.

• A clear “platform mindset”: you understand the difference between building a one-off project and building a reusable platform, and you naturally prefer standardization over customization.

You are a senior engineer who enjoys owning the big picture while still being hands-on in the code. You are opinionated about good architecture and API design, but pragmatic enough to ship.

• Think in terms of platforms and reusable capabilities, not one-off custom builds.

• Are comfortable saying no to solutions that don’t fit the architecture – and explaining why in a clear, constructive way.

• Communicate well with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders, translating business goals into simple, understandable technical concepts.

• Enjoy mentoring and helping other developers grow by providing actionable feedback, examples and “golden path” implementations.

• Have a strong sense of ownership, caring about quality, observability, and the long-term health of the platform.
