Job Description

As a Software Engineer on KERV’s Creative Ads team, you’ll be a key contributor building the visual products our clients and audiences actually see. This is a small, focused team responsible for our dynamic video generation pipeline, a video template studio, and the interactive overlay that powers ad experiences on top of video content (including VPAID-based ad products). What makes this role unique is the blend: one day you’re optimizing AWS Step Functions and FFmpeg-powered Lambda layers that generate video at scale, and the next you’re iterating on a React-based studio interface alongside a designer. You’ll work closely with product and creative teams — not just fulfilling client requests, but proactively A/B testing new ad formats and pushing the boundaries of what our products can do. You’ll also be helping establish this team from the ground up — shaping CI/CD practices, building out observability, and hardening production systems as the team matures.

Job Responsibility

  • Build and maintain our dynamic video generation pipeline — a multi-stage, serverless orchestration system on AWS that produces video creatives at scale
  • Develop and improve our video template studio and interactive overlay applications using modern frontend frameworks (React, Svelte)
  • Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and creative teams to translate ad concepts into shippable features
  • Proactively design and run A/B tests on ad formats, creative treatments, and user experiences to drive measurable performance improvements
  • Help harden production systems: improve observability (CloudWatch, logging), error handling, CI/CD pipelines, and cost/performance tuning across the video pipeline
  • Contribute to architectural decisions, weighing long-term maintainability against short-term delivery needs
  • Write clean, well-tested code across a diverse codebase — from serverless pipeline orchestration to client-facing ad experiences where visual quality and stability are immediately visible
  • Participate in team code reviews, sharing knowledge and learning from others
  • Participate in sprint planning, ensuring that realistic plans are set forth and delivered
  • Communicate effectively within the engineering team and with non-technical teams
  • Have the discipline to shift between establishing new features and maintaining legacy features based on the needs of the business

Requirements

  • 3–7+ years of professional experience developing web-based applications
  • Strong experience with JavaScript/TypeScript across both frontend and backend
  • Professional experience with React
  • additional experience with Svelte is a plus
  • Experience with Node.js in production environments
  • Working knowledge of AWS services, particularly Lambda, S3, and Step Functions — or comparable cloud infrastructure experience
  • Comfort working across the stack, from UI components to serverless backend services
  • Ownership mindset — you can take responsibility for a slice of the system end-to-end, propose tradeoffs, and collaborate closely with teammates through pairing, code review, and clear communication
  • Strong asynchronous communication skills, ensuring efficient and effective collaboration with remote team members
  • Experience with or strong interest in AI-driven prompt engineering and AI coding assistants

Nice to have

  • Experience with video processing technologies (FFmpeg, transcoding, video playback, MediaConvert)
  • Familiarity with Adobe After Effects or the Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Lottie/JSON export workflows
  • Experience with browser automation tools (Puppeteer, Playwright)
  • Background in animation systems, 2D graphics programming, or creative tooling
  • Python experience, particularly in media/video processing contexts
  • Experience with the Serverless Framework or similar IaC tools
  • Digital advertising experience, specifically with video ad technologies (VAST, VPAID)
  • Experience with A/B testing frameworks and experimentation methodology
  • Experience developing an enterprise or SaaS product
  • Previous experience in a startup environment

What we offer

  • Unlimited PTO with a healthy culture of taking time off to recharge
  • Competitive compensation packages
  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits including modern support services via Bennie, such as a custom app and healthcare concierge
  • Mental Health Support via Samata Health paid 100% by KERV
  • 401K with company match and 100% vesting on day 1
  • Unlimited referral bonuses
  • Flexible working schedules with remote and hybrid opportunities
  • Fitness Reimbursement Program
  • Moments that Matter program
