Software Engineer - Full Stack
contract•on-site•San Francisco•$120k - $150k
About this role
We’re hiring a Software Engineer to join Thrad and work across our Advertiser platform, attribution, and analytics systems. We’re looking for an experienced engineer who can own technical projects end to end, build reliable backend systems and APIs, and operate comfortably in the cloud, ideally with strong AWS experience. This role sits closely between engineering and GTM, so the right person should be excited to turn customer and business needs into product and technical solutions.
At Thrad, we value thoughtful, pragmatic, high-ownership teammates who are excited to build in an early-stage environment. We do not expect a perfect match on paper, so if this role interests you but you are not sure you meet every requirement, we’d still strongly encourage you to apply.

About Thrad
We already serve millions of ads daily for Fortune 500 clients including Binance, Warner Music Group, and TripAdvisor, with publisher partners like DeepAI. We are a small, fast-moving team backed by a clear commercial proof point and raising our seed round to scale.
The Role
We are looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to own meaningful slices of the product end-to-end. You will work across our entire stack, shipping features that directly impact revenue, advertiser experience, and publisher adoption. This is a high-autonomy role where the distance between writing code and seeing it in production is measured in hours, not quarters.
What You Will Do
• Build and iterate on advertiser-facing dashboards (campaign creation, live analytics, reporting) and publisher-facing integration tools.
• Own data pipelines and analytics infrastructure on ClickHouse and PostgreSQL, supporting real-time metrics (CPC, CTR, ROAS, fill rate) and historical reporting.
• Ship end-to-end features autonomously: scope, architect, build, test, deploy, and monitor.
• Collaborate directly with the CTO and co-founders to translate product direction into working software, often within the same day.
• Improve developer experience: CI/CD, testing, observability, and documentation.
• Contribute to system architecture decisions as we scale from millions to billions of daily ad impressions.
Why Thrad
• First mover: Defining a new category.
• Real traction: Fortune 500 clients and millions of daily impressions, pre-seed round.
• Direct impact: Small founding team. Your code ships the same day you write it.
• Ownership: Meaningful equity in a company at the intersection of two massive markets (AI and
adtech).
