About tvScientific

tvScientific is the first and only CTV advertising platform purpose-built for performance marketers. We leverage massive data and cutting-edge science to automate and optimize TV advertising to drive business outcomes. Our solution combines media buying, optimization, measurement, and attribution in one, efficient platform. Our platform is built by industry leaders with a long history in programmatic advertising, digital media, and ad verification who have now purpose-built a CTV performance platform advertisers can trust to grow their business.

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to help design, build, and scale tvScientific’s contract and billing systems that support direct advertisers, internal teams, and Finance. This role focuses on building backend services that can support a wide range of contract structures and billing models while maintaining strong guarantees around correctness, auditability, and operational reliability.

You’ll work on systems that must operate accurately across different commercial relationships and external partners, ensuring our contract logic remains consistent, flexible, and maintainable as the business scales.

This is a high-impact backend role at the intersection of revenue, finance, and customer operations, where clear domain modeling, data integrity, and sound engineering judgment matter more than any specific implementation approach.

What you'll do:

Design and implement backend systems for contract lifecycle management, including creation, versioning, approvals, amendments, and renewals

Build and evolve contract management capabilities (e.g., terms, payouts, attribution rules, eligibility, and partner-specific logic) for our CPA Contract/Billing model

Support the expansion of CPM billing model contracts, including rate management, impression-based calculations, and integrations with billing and finance systems

Develop APIs and services that serve customers, internal operations teams, and finance stakeholders

Partner closely with Product, Finance, and Data teams to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions

Ensure systems are auditable, accurate, and compliant, with strong data integrity guarantees

Improve system observability, reliability, and performance as contract volume and complexity scale

Own backend services and data models related to contracts and billing

Lead technical design discussions and make pragmatic architectural decisions

Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code with a strong focus on correctness

Drive improvements in data consistency, validation, and error handling across contract workflows

Review code and mentor other engineers, setting a high bar for backend quality

Collaborate cross-functionally to support new deal structures and evolving business models

What we're looking for:

Experience with billing/contract mechanisms (specifically affiliate platforms)

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, a related field or equivalent experience

Experience building large-scale full-stack products.

Deep understanding of web development and best practices in React/Redux

Strong experience with programming languages Javascript and Python/Java

Strong software engineering principles and practices

Strong collaboration and communication skills

Demonstrated ability to use AI to improve speed and quality in your day-to-day workflow for relevant outputs

Strong track record of critical evaluation and verification of AI-assisted work (e.g., testing, source-checking, data validation, peer review)

High integrity and ownership: you protect sensitive data, avoid over-reliance on AI, and remain accountable for final decisions and deliverables

Nice-to-Haves:

Experience working closely with finance or accounting teams

Background in building audit-friendly or compliance-sensitive systems
