About
What You'll Do Build and Ship Integrations
Design and implement production‑grade integrations with external platforms: CRMs, CDPs, measurement vendors, and data partners
Own integration projects end‑to‑end, from scoping through production, with full accountability for outcomes
Collaborate directly with external partners to define, validate, and evolve data contracts
Developer Platform
Drive the architecture of Vibe's public API: account, advertiser, and campaign management endpoints built to scale
Develop documentation, monitoring, and tooling that makes the developer experience genuinely first‑class
Contribute to MCP gateway and authentication layers that expose Vibe's capabilities to the world
Reliability and Scale
Identify architectural weaknesses in existing pipelines and lead the effort to rebuild them for scale
Set the standard for code quality on the team. Your reviews move the bar, not just the diff
Use AI tooling actively to accelerate development and raise output quality across the team
Team Leadership
Mentor junior and mid‑level engineers through code review, pairing, and direct feedback
Help establish engineering norms and practices as the New York team grows
Partner with the Engineering Manager on technical direction and hiring calibration
What You Need
Typically 6+ years shipping production backend systems: APIs, data pipelines, and distributed services at scale
Deep hands‑on proficiency in TypeScript and Python; you've owned complex systems in both, not just contributed to them
Strong infrastructure fundamentals: AWS, Terraform, and the judgment to make architectural decisions, not just implement them
Exposure to low‑level programming concepts. C or C++ background is a plus; you understand what's happening beneath the abstraction
A high‑ownership background: startups, scale‑ups, or any environment where you couldn't hand the hard problems to someone else
A track record of raising the quality of the engineers around you, not just your own output
Nice to Haves
Prior experience building or maintaining third‑party integrations (ETL, webhooks, REST/GraphQL APIs)
Familiarity with GCP or multi‑cloud environments
Experience designing or contributing to developer‑facing platforms or public APIs
Our Values At Vibe, we run on three values: Impact, Ambition, and Urgency. We tie every goal to a real business outcome, think 10x rather than settling for good enough, and move daily rather than waiting for perfect conditions.
You’ll thrive here if you own outcomes without needing direction, default to action, and hold yourself to results, not effort.
This is a high‑performance environment with high‑performance rewards: you’ll work alongside people who push you, with real ownership over hard problems in a market that’s moving fast.
If that sounds like the best version of your career, we want to meet you.
What We Offer For candidates in New York, NY, the pay range for this role is $196,000–$265,000.
At Vibe, we want you to build something, own something, and grow fast. Here’s how we back that up:
Variable pay based on objectives you hit. No arbitrary targets.
Hybrid flexibility. We’re in NYC’s Flatiron District and our team is in 3x a week.
Full health coverage. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
401(k) with matching. We invest in your future, not just your output.
Unlimited PTO. Take the time you need. We measure results, not hours.
Parental leave. Paid leave for all parents.
Annual offsite. The whole team, once a year, somewhere worth the trip.
Equal Opportunity Vibe is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
We believe the best ideas come from teams with different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. If you need a reasonable accommodation during the application or interview process, please let us know.
