We offer excellent compensation and benefits. Don’t just take our word for it: get in touch for a (video) chat and ask any question you have about the role and DoubleVerify. Your role You join our Publisher engineering team in Ghent, Belgium. As a global company, you will also work closely with our engineering and product management teams across Europe and the US. As a Staff Engineer, you are the most senior member of the technical staff. You own and deliver complex software solutions in the field of data collection, processing, reporting and dashboarding. You maintain the existing codebase, develop new features, and evolve the architecture to meet growing scalability needs. You will work in the JVM technology stack, using a combination of Java 21, Spring Boot 3, Kotlin, gRPC and OpenAPI. On the platform side, we leverage Google Cloud Platform (GKE, BigQuery) and Cloudflare (e.g. Workers). You develop new ideas about the overall system architecture and effectively communicate them to the engineering teams, as well as the product management organization. You work with international teams, located in different time zones (Eastern Europe to West Coast USA), and occasionally travel internationally. We realize your background might be different than ours and we welcome it. Rather than requiring very specific technical knowledge, we think it’s important to have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of software architecture and engineering. Who You Are You have proven experience in a software development role, where you took long term ownership of a product (part), e.g as a lead software engineer, or as a software architect.  A significant part of your experience involves hands-on software development, ideally while working on a SaaS product in a cloud environment. Experience with the development of data intensive applications is a strong advantage.  You understand the value of API-first design, using technologies like OpenAPI and gRPC.  You are familiar with most of our technology stack (JVM, i.e. Java / Kotlin) and cloud platforms (GCP, Cloudflare). You stay current on best practices and new technologies, but assess them with a critical eye. You maintain an open and critical mind, embracing the fact that those around you may challenge these. You are excellent at articulating your reasoning and making your assumptions explicit in English. Having good proficiency in Dutch is an advantage.  What We Offer We offer excellent compensation and benefits, which include: A competitive wage including meal vouchers A bonus & stock plan A company car & compensation for public transportation and biking A generous vacation schedule Flexible working hours and a hybrid working policy Create a Job Alert Interested in building your career at DoubleVerify?
