Meet Your Future Neighbors

At Nextdoor, the Ads Engineering organization is responsible for building next-generation Ads platforms focused on serving neighborhoods worldwide, as well as building buying platforms based on the needs of local advertisers and businesses.

We are looking for an experienced senior ads backend engineer to build the ads platforms to onboard advertisers and enable them to manage their campaigns, deliver relevant sponsored content to our neighbors and provide value to our advertisers. We are in the early phases of building ads technology, so you will have several opportunities to build the system from the ground up and own the design decision and systems.

The Impact You’ll Make

You will focus on building out our next-generation Ads platform to manage thousands of advertisers globally and build technology to serve relevant content to the neighbors.

You will be responsible for the following areas of development:  

  • Design, implement, and maintain backend services and components of ads platforms
  • Scale the platform to serve millions of neighbors and thousands of advertisers
  • Integrate with Google Ads Manager and with other third-party data systems
  • Build ad performance monitoring, reporting and optimization systems
  • Contribute to the integration of ML workflows

What You’ll Bring To The Team 

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent work experience
  • 4+ years of Software Development experience
  • 2+ years of Ads domain experience
  • 3+ years of experience with Python, Java, or Kotlin programming language
  • 2+ years of experience in building performant and scalable backend services 
  • Experience with Kafka, Kinesis, or related streaming platforms
  • Deep belief in the mission of Nextdoor

Bonus Points

  • Experience within the AWS ecosystem
  • Familiarity with A/B and other online testing applications
  • Strong communication and presentation skills
  • Exceptionally resourceful in a lean, flat organization

Rewards

Compensation, benefits, perks, and recognition programs at Nextdoor come together to create one overall rewards package.

The starting salary for this role is expected to range from $153,000 to $212,000 on an annualized basis, or potentially greater in the event that your 'level' of proficiency exceeds the level expected for the role. Compensation may also vary by geography.

We also expect to award a meaningful equity grant for this role. With equal quarterly vesting, your first vest date would be within the first 3 months of your start date.

Overall, total compensation will vary depending on your relevant skills, experience, and qualifications.

We have you covered! Nextdoor employees can choose between a variety of great health plans. We cover 100% of your personal monthly premium for health, dental, and vision – and provide a OneMedical membership for concierge care.
