Background

We are building a new monetization platform to connect retailers with their brands. This is a green-field initiative that incorporates multiple components such as a highly-scalable ad delivery platform, rich user-facing applications and a reporting suite.

The user portal for our platform provides a control panel and reporting capability for three distinct sets of users performing business-critical tasks so ensuring a performant, reliable and user-friendly experience is key. The profile(s) will be part of the team building this portal application, using modern web development tools and techniques to build not just the platform for now but also the base for our extensive future vision.

Key technical requirements

The portal is being built as a React-based user interface and Node/Express API layer, all written in TypeScript which are the key technical requirements. The platform is deployed into Google Kubernetes Engine.

● MySQL
● OpenAPI
● React-Hook-Form
● React Query
● Google Identity Platform (Firebase)
● Cypress end-end tests
