Job description

Overview

At Precis, we are a group of friendly experts in media buying, analytics & marketing science, creative, and technology with a joint mission to help great companies thrive in the digital landscape.

As a Creative Solutions Engineer (Full-stack Engineer - Cloud-native, GCP) at Precis, you will work hands-on with building and maintaining cloud-native systems that enable scalable, automated, and forward-looking creative technology solutions. You will design and implement backend services, data pipelines, and full-stack applications that support experimentation, innovation, and production-grade systems — always with a focus on scalability, security, and maintainability.

This role sits within our Creative Tech department, working at the intersection of software engineering, cloud infrastructure, and creative problem-solving. You will build technical systems and platforms that are shaped by how creative work is produced, scaled, and evolved — requiring both strong engineering fundamentals and an understanding of creative workflows, constraints, and opportunities.

The focus is on building flexible, future-proof solutions that enable experimentation and new ways of working, rather than optimizing for a single format or existing workflow.

We are looking for an intermediate engineer who enjoys shipping real systems, learning through doing, and contributing to technical discussions around architecture and tooling.

We are committed to building an inclusive and fair workplace that attracts talent and advances its people, regardless of their background, experiences, or perspectives. We believe that a diverse set of minds contributes to our innovative culture and our ability to constantly evolve.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain backend services, APIs, and data pipelines using TypeScript and Node.js.

• Build and maintain full-stack solutions, including user interfaces using React and Next.js.

• Develop and operate cloud-native solutions on Google Cloud Platform, working with services such as Cloud Run, Firebase, and other common GCP components.

• Contribute to internal platforms and tooling that enable large-scale creative production, automation, and custom workflows.

• Ensure solutions are built with strong fundamentals around architecture, security, scalability, and reliability.

• Work with Git as part of a collaborative development workflow, including code reviews and shared ownership of codebases.

• Participate in documentation and knowledge sharing to support long-term maintainability of systems.

Solution Design, Automation & Innovation

• Translate creative and operational needs into robust technical solutions.

• Help design and evolve systems that support creative automation, with a strong focus on exploring and applying AI in thoughtful, production-grade ways where it creates real value.

• Collaborate closely with other engineers, creative technologists, and stakeholders within Creative, such as designers and strategists.

• Continuously improve existing systems through iteration, refactoring, and technical curiosity.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Professional experience as a software engineer at an intermediate level.

• Strong fundamentals in TypeScript and backend development using Node.js.

• Experience building and maintaining full-stack applications, including frontend development with React and Next.js.

• Experience building and operating backend services, APIs, and/or data pipelines in production.

• Experience working with Google Cloud Platform.

• A solid understanding of cloud-native architecture, security basics, and system design.

• Experience working with Git in a team-based development environment.

• Ability to work independently on tasks while collaborating effectively with others.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with Python.

• Experience working with Figma, including building or supporting plugins and workflows.

• Experience with ExtendScript or development for creative tools such as After Effects.

• Experience with JavaScript bundlers such as Webpack, Esbuild, or similar tools.

• Familiarity with node-based automation systems such as n8n.

• Exposure to automation systems, AI-enabled solutions, or large-scale production pipelines.

• Interest in creative technology, digital advertising, or understanding what makes effective creative.

WHAT WE OFFER

We offer an intense learning environment where you will be able to grow and develop your skills and passions alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry. We also value collaboration, trust and innovation, with regular afterworks, team events and a yearly festival.

• Transparent salary setting; salary bands are available in our handbook. This role is a L2 role within the Creative Tech column.

• 30 days paid leave, flexible public holidays, parental pay, a solid pension scheme and key insurance. Our offices offer perks such as massage, health care contributions, free book orders, healthy snacks & great coffee, EAP programs and your choice of PC or Mac.

• A diverse environment with a high focus on inclusion and belonging. We speak 46 native languages at Precis, and our internal inclusion score is 4.5 out of 5.
