Ciklum is looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our team full-time in Ukraine.
We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.
About the role:
As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, become a part of a cross-functional development team engineering experiences of tomorrow.
Our client is a 3-month-old, seed-funded ad-tech startup building infrastructure analytics for publishers. Having successfully launched a POC with design partners, they are now transitioning from a solo-founder codebase to a founding engineering team of four. The focus is on high-seniority, autonomous developers who can thrive in a fast-paced, “startup-mode” environment without heavy management. * The “Founding Four” Opportunity: You aren’t just an employee; you are part of the founding engineering team. You will have a direct hand in shaping the architecture, culture, and product direction from day zero. * High-Impact Engineering: Unlike large corporations where you’re a small cog, here you are building the core infrastructure of a platform that processes massive amounts of real-time data for major publishers. * A “No-Micromanagement” Culture: The CEO is an ad-tech veteran with multiple exits. He is building a “seniors-only” team where autonomy is the default and character is as important as code. * Modern Tech Stack: Work with Node.js, TypeScript, and AI-native solutions (LLMs/Agents) without the burden of 10-year-old legacy code. * Stability + Growth: You get the “wild west” excitement of a 3-month-old startup but with the security of a seed-funded company and a founder who has “been there, done that.”
Responsibilities: * Design, develop, and maintain scalable full-stack applications using React, Node.js, and Python * Develop the core product offering implemented to track and analyse billions of events on websites and apps * Develop integrations with Supply-Side Platforms (SSPs) and Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs) * Integrate AI/ML capabilities into our platform, including LLM APIs and on-premise model deployments * Build agentic workflows and AI-powered automation to enhance platform capabilities * Collaborate with product, data science, and engineering teams to deliver end-to-end solutions * Mentor junior developers and contribute to engineering best practices
Requirements: * 5+ years of professional software development experience * Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and Node.js * Solid experience with Python for backend development and data processing * Experience building high-performance, low-latency distributed systems * Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP) * Experience with databases (SQL and NoSQL) and data streaming technologies * Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work autonomously * Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset
What’s in it for you? * Strong community: Work alongside top professionals in a friendly, open-door environment * Growth focus: Take on large-scale projects with a global impact and expand your expertise * Tailored learning: Boost your skills with internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy access, language courses, and company-paid certifications * Endless opportunities: Explore diverse domains through internal mobility, finding the best fit to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies * Flexibility: Enjoy radical flexibility — work remotely or from an office, your choice * Care: We’ve got you covered with company-paid medical insurance, mental health support, and financial & legal consultations
