At MNTN, we put our people first, full stop. This allows our company culture to be defined by our team members and their shared values, like trust, ambition, quality, radical honesty, and compassionate leadership. It’s why we all really love working for the Hardest Working Software in Television™ (and also why we were named one of Ad Age’s Best Places To Work in 2024.)
We pride ourselves on bringing unrivaled performance and simplicity to Connected TV advertising. Our self-serve technology makes running TV ads as easy as search and social, helping brands drive measurable conversions, revenue, site visits, and more. It’s what led MNTN to being named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in 2023. You can learn more about us and everything we do by visiting https://mountain.com/.
We’re committed to innovation that empowers, not replaces. At MNTN, AI is a tool for growth, enhancing efficiency while keeping a people-first approach. Our goal is to streamline workflows and drive new solutions—without compromising the human element that makes our company great.
So if wanting to do more, own more, and make a bigger impact comes naturally to you, then you may be the person we're looking for to join us in our next stage of growth.
We're looking for a Backend Engineer to join our Integrations team! Our team powers the systems that move massive amounts of data in and out of the MNTN platform. We are a small but fierce tiger team that moves fast, but has done things right since day one, and we aim to keep it that way. If you enjoy learning and growing your skillset in sophisticated distributed systems, always think before you code, love using the latest and greatest tools and instrumentation, and cringe at the word “tech debt”, then please apply!
What You'll Do:
- Work closely with the rest of the team to evolve the Integrations platform to handle trillions of tuples across hundreds of different integrations.
- Completely own the design, implementation, testing, monitoring, and optimization of integration connectors.
- Work closely with both technical and non-technical cross-team stakeholders to get our data streams where they’ll have the biggest impact on the entire business.
- Join our on-call and other rotations that share the load equally among the team.
- Bring energy and creativity to our use of AI, our knowledge shares, retros, and other regular team growth activities.
About you:
- 3-5+ years of experience as a full-time backend engineer working on a SaaS product.
- Experience with at least one compiled/JIT language. Golang is preferred, but Kotlin, Java, Rust, C++ are quite welcome.
- Minimal experience with a messaging system: Kafka, SQS, PubSub, RabbitMQ, etc.
- A foundation in CS fundamentals: data types, basic algorithms, how the internet works.
- Comfortable with Postgres-flavor SQL. Bonus points if you’ve worked with data warehouses (Redshift, Bigquery, Cloudberry).
- A basic understanding of ETL flows. Experience with data pipelines (DAGs) is a plus.
- Are comfortable on the command-line. Nothing fancy.
- Can communicate clearly and concisely with both technical and non-technical peers.
- An idealistic but practical mindset: aim for the stars, but focus on what will make the biggest difference right now.

- 100% remote within the US

- Three-day weekend every month of the year
