ABOUT THE TEAM

Technology is at the core of what we do. Basis is an industry-leading platform that automates and simplifies the entire digital ad campaign process. It processes over 300 billion events per day and uses AI and machine learning across the full campaign lifecycle.

The Core Backend team is the connective tissue that keeps Basis running and lets other engineering teams move faster. We own the health of our core backend, the core customer-facing features developed within it, and the systems and standards that feature teams build on top of — along with the strategy for how the application evolves over time. That includes performance and reliability, observability foundations, release tooling, and the strategy for decomposing the system into well-defined microservices.

If you're energized by platform-level problems, by setting the standards other teams build on, and by work whose outcome is other teams shipping faster, this is the team for you.
