Job Description

At Branch, we're transforming how brands and users interact across digital platforms. Our mobile marketing and deep linking solutions are trusted to deliver seamless experiences that increase ROI, decrease wasted spend, and eliminate siloed attribution. Our Branch team consists of smart, humble, and collaborative people who value ownership over all. Everything we do is centered around creating a great product, team, and company that lives and breathes our motto: Build Together, Grow Together, Win Together.
About the role
The Performance Engineering team delivers customer-facing capabilities that directly improve marketer outcomes across three areas: Fraud (detection rules, model integration, clear explanations, and case-review workflows), Insights (in-product analytics, actionable recommendations, and experimentation surfaces across the MMP), and Partner Integrations (SAN/partner APIs, parity updates, webhooks/postbacks, and durable data contracts).
This role is under our Partner Integrations team to build and enhance a robust and scalable platform that onboards and operates hundreds of partners with Branch. You'll design and deliver scalable API integrations, batch pipelines, real-time event flows, and file/S3 drop workflows so new partners can be added quickly, reliably, and safely.
What you'll do

• Design & build reusable integration frameworks: auth/connectors, schema mapping, validation, retry/backoff, idempotency, and backfill.
• Ship partner onboarding flows end-to-end: config UI/JSON, contract checks (Protobuf/Avro), sandbox tests, staged rollout, and monitoring.
• Implement APIs & webhooks/postbacks to exchange data bi-directionally; handle signatures, paging, rate limits, and version drift.
• Build batch + file ingest (S3 drops/manifest checks) and schedule/reconciliation jobs with clear SLAs and evidence trails.
• Add observability: structured logs, metrics, alerts, "why it failed" reason codes, and support-friendly traces.
• Drive quality gates: contract validation in CI, integration test harnesses, sandbox simulators, and canary/staged rollouts.
• Partner with PM/Partner Ops/Support to prioritize parity gaps, publish change notes, and reduce onboarding time.
• Document runbooks; mentor peers; raise the overall Engineering bar.

What you bring

• 5+ years backend engineering; strong Java/Kotlin.
• Hands-on with partner/API integrations: OAuth2/API keys, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, signatures/HMAC, and schema evolution.
• Experience building reliable data exchange across real-time and batch/file (S3) paths with retries and idempotency.
• Solid grasp of contracts & schemas (Protobuf/Avro), versioning, compatibility, and validation.
• Production-grade testing (unit, contract, integration), CI/CD, and feature-flagged rollouts.
• Strong ownership and pragmatic delivery; crisp written design docs.

Nice to have

• Webhook/postback delivery semantics (DLQ, replay, signing), partner ecosystems (Meta, Google, TikTok, ASA).
• Kafka/queues for near-real-time handoff; scheduler/orchestrator experience for batch.
• Data reconciliation jobs, cost/metadata ingestion, and parity verification tools.
• Security/privacy by design: PII handling, consent/ATT/ regional policies.
