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 Senior 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
  • Nice-to-Haves:
    • Experience working closely with finance or accounting teams
    • Background in building audit-friendly or compliance-sensitive systems

 

In-Office Requirement Statement:

  • We recognize that the ideal environment for work is situational and may differ across departments. What this looks like day-to-day can vary based on the needs of each organization or role.

Why Are You Being Asked to Complete This Form?

This employer is a Government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA). VEVRAA requires Government contractors to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment protected veterans. To help us measure the effectiveness of our outreach and recruitment efforts of veterans, we are asking you to tell us if you are a veteran covered by VEVRAA. Completing this form is completely voluntary, but we hope you fill it out. Any answer you give will be kept private and will not be used against you in any way.

For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of Federal contractors, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

How Do You Know If You Are a Veteran Protected by VEVRAA?

Contrary to the name, VEVRAA does not just cover Vietnam Era veterans. It covers several categories of veterans from World War II, the Korean conflict, the Vietnam era, and the Persian Gulf War which is defined as occurring from August 2, 1990 to the present.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans please indicate by checking the appropriate box below. The categories are defined on the next page and explained further in an “Am I a Protected Veteran?” infographic provided by OFCCP.
