Please note that Digital Turbine is a hybrid work environment-only candidates local to the posting location will be considered.Digital Turbine runs on small, autonomous pods that own an outcome and a roadmap end to end. We hire engineers, not language specialists: we care that you can reason about systems, pick the right tool for the problem, and ship reliable software across the stack.
As a Lead Full Stack Engineer, you'll build the product surfaces that bring our marketplace together - campaign management and creation, unified dashboards and reporting, audience and asset tooling, and the APIs that connect demand to supply. You'll work across front-end, back-end, and data, contributing to the unified product architecture at the heart of our FY27 roadmap. The underlying platform requires heavy back-end engineering, low-latency optimization, and algorithmic problem-solving to manage massive throughput and real-time marketplace dynamics.
About the Lead Full Stack Software Engineer:- Design and build full-stack features - from responsive web front-ends to back-end services and APIs - that power campaign management, reporting, and marketplace optimization
- Choose the right language and tools for each problem (we run a polyglot stack), and keep the front end lightweight by pushing complex computational logic, data modeling, and heavy algorithmic weight into robust, scalable back-end services
- Build and consume well-designed APIs that integrate DT products into a unified architecture rather than isolated silos
- Own your services in production: testing, observability, performance, and on-call, treating quality as a whole-team responsibility
- Collaborate directly with product leads and stakeholders, contributing to scoping, estimation, and technical decisions within your pod
- Mentor teammates and raise engineering standards through code review, automation, and pragmatic architecture
About you as the Lead Full Stack Software Engineer:- 8+ years building and shipping production platforms, with a heavy skew toward backend architecture, system design, and code optimization
- Strong algorithmic fundamentals, data structures, and a proven track record of solving complex data-processing or resource optimization problems
- Demonstrated ability to be effective in more than one language/ecosystem (e.g., TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, Kotlin, Python, Go, Scala, or C++) - you optimize for the problem, not a single tool
- Solid command of modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React) and back-end service design, plus relational and/or distributed data stores (MySQL, PostgreSQL, and similar)
- Strong fundamentals in API design, data modeling, testing, and system design
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced, agile, ownership-driven environment with limited hand-holding
Nice to have skills:
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP), containers, and CI/CD.
- Exposure to AdTech, dashboards/BI surfaces, or high-throughput data-driven products.
- Experience integrating ML or data services into product workflows.
