Software Engineer, Creative Ads

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.
