The role
Job description
Spreetail propels brands to increase their ecommerce market share across the globe while improving their operational costs. Learn how we are building one of the fastest-growing ecommerce companies in history: www.spreetail.com .
The Software Engineer II for Ads builds the data, analytics, and product experiences that help Merchants and Brands understand how advertising is performing and decide where to invest next. This role will strengthen the Ads experience across the customer-facing Brand Experience platform and the internal Merchant Station platform by turning complex advertising data and business logic into clear, actionable insights.
Ads, together with DART and margin calculators, is a critical input into day-to-day Merchant decisions. The current Ads experience is one of the lowest-used areas in Brand Experience because it does not yet provide essential data, including keyword-level detail, or a compelling explanation of performance. This engineer will help overhaul that experience, support rapid proofs of concept, and build scalable capabilities that contribute to Merchandising's goal of generating $1 million in additional programmatic Brand support across Ads, Promotions, and Pricing Support.
