At Branch, we’re transforming how brands and users interact across digital platforms. Our mobile marketing and deep linking solutions are trusted to deliver seamless experiences that increase ROI, decrease wasted spend, and eliminate siloed attribution. Our Branch team consists of smart, humble, and collaborative people who value ownership over all. Everything we do is centered around creating a great product, team, and company that lives and breathes our motto: Build Together, Grow Together, Win Together.

Branch is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Performance / Mobile Measurement Platform (MMP) team. You’ll be working on high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems that power event collection, attribution, and real-time decisioning across billions of devices. This is a critical role that contributes directly to how advertiser performance is measured and optimized.

You’ll work on systems that sit at the heart of Branch’s infrastructure—processing massive volumes of events, making attribution decisions in real-time, and enabling marketers to measure campaign effectiveness accurately.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll get to:

  • Design, build, and operate scalable distributed systems that process billions of events per day.
  • Contribute to the modernization and performance tuning of existing services written in Java and Kotlin.
  • Implement core attribution logic and event transformation pipelines with a strong focus on correctness, performance, and resiliency.
  • Work cross-functionally with product, data science, infra, and SDK teams to define APIs and data contracts.
  • Own projects end-to-end: from architecture and implementation to rollout, observability, and ongoing optimization.
  • Help define and drive best practices for system design, service ownership, observability, and deployment.

You’ll be a good fit if you have:

  • 6+ years of backend software engineering experience, preferably in Java and/or Kotlin.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and large-scale data processing.
  • Experience with technologies such as Kafka, Aerospike/DynamoDB/Redis, and/or other stream/batch data systems.
  • Strong grasp of performance tuning, low-latency service development, and failure handling in distributed systems.
  • Familiarity with mobile attribution models, privacy-preserving frameworks (SKAdNetwork, Privacy Sandbox), or campaign analytics is a strong plus.
  • Ability to write clean, maintainable, testable code and mentor others in doing the same.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and iterating quickly in a fast-paced environment.

Nice to Have: 

  • Experience in an MMP, AdTech, or MarTech environment.
  • Contributions to open-source data or infrastructure projects.
  • Familiarity with mobile SDKs and measurement protocols.

This role will be based at our Austin, TX office and follows a Hybrid schedule that will be aligned with our Return to Office guidelines. However, we are also open to full-time remote candidates in Texas. This role does not qualify for relocation or visa sponsorship.

As set forth in Branch Metrics’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
