Summary Generated by Built In

At Branch, we’re transforming how brands and users interact across digital platforms. Our mobile marketing and deep linking solutions are trusted to deliver seamless experiences that increase ROI, decrease wasted spend, and eliminate siloed attribution. Our Branch team consists of smart, humble, and collaborative people who value ownership over all. Everything we do is centered around creating a great product, team, and company that lives and breathes our motto: Build Together, Grow Together, Win Together.

Branch is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Performance / Mobile Measurement Platform (MMP) team. You’ll be working on high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems that power event collection, attribution, and real-time decisioning across billions of devices. This is a critical role that contributes directly to how advertiser performance is measured and optimized.

You’ll work on systems that sit at the heart of Branch’s infrastructure—processing massive volumes of events, making attribution decisions in real-time, and enabling marketers to measure campaign effectiveness accurately.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll get to:

  • Design, build, and operate scalable distributed systems that process billions of events per day.
  • Contribute to the modernization and performance tuning of existing services written in Java and Kotlin.
  • Implement core attribution logic and event transformation pipelines with a strong focus on correctness, performance, and resiliency.
  • Work cross-functionally with product, data science, infra, and SDK teams to define APIs and data contracts.
  • Own projects end-to-end: from architecture and implementation to rollout, observability, and ongoing optimization.
  • Help define and drive best practices for system design, service ownership, observability, and deployment.

You’ll be a good fit if you have:

  • 6+ years of backend software engineering experience, preferably in Java and/or Kotlin.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and large-scale data processing.
  • Experience with technologies such as Kafka, Aerospike/DynamoDB/Redis, and/or other stream/batch data systems.
  • Strong grasp of performance tuning, low-latency service development, and failure handling in distributed systems.
  • Familiarity with mobile attribution models, privacy-preserving frameworks (SKAdNetwork, Privacy Sandbox), or campaign analytics is a strong plus.
  • Ability to write clean, maintainable, testable code and mentor others in doing the same.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and iterating quickly in a fast-paced environment.

Nice to Have: 

  • Experience in an MMP, AdTech, or MarTech environment.
  • Contributions to open-source data or infrastructure projects.
  • Familiarity with mobile SDKs and measurement protocols.
