Lead Back‑End Developer at DanAds drives a platform‑first, serverless architecture on AWS, building reusable, multi‑tenant microservices (Identity, Booking, Reporting, AI) with strict API contracts, data standards, security, and performance goals, while mentoring the team and ensuring high‑quality, scalable code.
You are not just building features; you are building the Factory. DanAds is shifting to a "Platform-First" architecture. We are moving away from monolithic, client-specific codebases to a standardized, API-driven ecosystem. As the Platform Lead Back-End Developer, your mission is to design and build the high-performance, reusable Microservices (Identity, Booking, Reporting, AI) that power our entire product suite. You will act as the "Technical Guardian" of the backend, ensuring that every service we ship is multi-tenant, serverless, and strictly decoupled from the frontend. Technical Leadership Enforce the Contract: You are the gatekeeper of the API. You will define and maintain strict OpenAPI specifications. No code is written until the contract is signed. Serverless-First: Drive our FinOps strategy by architecting solutions on AWS Serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, EventBridge) to ensure a "Scale-to-Zero" cost model. Platform Governance The Reusability Filter: You will ruthlessly reject "snowflake" logic. If a Product Team asks for a specific feature, your job is to abstract it into a generic capability that serves 10+ clients. Data Standards (AdCP): Enforce the Ad Context Protocol (AdCP) across all data models. You ensure our data speaks the universal language of AdTech. Security & Tenancy: implement strict Logical Isolation patterns. You ensure that Tenant A can never touch Tenant B's data, enforcing policies via JWT and Row-Level Security. Team Mentorship & Culture Lead by Code: You are a hands-on leader. You write the "Golden Path" templates and libraries that other developers use. Review & Refine: Conduct rigorous code reviews to ensure adherence to our NFRs (Non-Functional Requirements) regarding latency (<200ms), availability (99.99%), and observability. Bridge the Gap: Translate the CPO's commercial requirements into technical specs. You turn "We need better sales" into "We need a Recommendation Engine API." What you bring to the table Senior Engineering Experience: 7+ years in backend development, with a deep focus on API design and microservices. AWS Native: Mastery of the AWS ecosystem, specifically Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, and CloudFormation/Terraform. You don't just use the cloud; you architect for it. API Design Pro: You dream in JSON. You have extensive experience designing RESTful/GraphQL APIs and treating them as products (Versioning, Documentation, Backward Compatibility). The "Platform Mindset": You understand the difference between building a Project (for one client) and a Platform (for many). You value standardization over customization. AdTech Experience (Bonus): Familiarity with concepts like VAST, OpenRTB, and Campaign workflows is a major plus. The Tech stack Language: TypeScript (Node.js) Infrastructure: AWS Serverless (Lambda, API Gateway) Database: DynamoDB (Hot Data), Aurora Serverless (Relational), S3 (Assets) IaC: Terraform / AWS CDK CI/CD: GitHub Actions To Apply please go through our recruitment partner Bravuras site: https://ledigajobb.bravura.se/en/jobs/7188548-lead-backend-developer-to-danads Department Technology Locations DanAds - Malmö, Sweden, DanAds Head Office, Stockholm Remote status Hybrid
