Senior Software Developer, Ads

At Leap Tools, we are building the world's most advanced solutions for the interior décor industry. With customers in 80+ countries, our clientele includes Fortune 500 companies such as Home Depot, local retailers such as Alexanian’s, and everything in between. We have been recognized as one of the fastest‑growing tech companies by Deloitte for multiple years in a row, and we are looking for ambitious challenge‑seekers to fuel our momentum and help us create an iconic global tech company.

About Our Product Our technology lets you see products in your own room before you buy. Imagine you want to redesign your home and have been searching for new tiles for your kitchen or a new rug for your living room. You definitely want to make sure it will look good in your space. We enable this through cutting‑edge computer vision technology, presented in an extraordinarily simple and accessible way.

About This Project We are building a next‑generation advertising platform that embeds products directly into visual experiences rather than traditional banners or feeds. This involves high‑scale data pipelines, real‑time decisioning, attribution, partner integrations, and performance‑critical systems, paired with compelling, visual user experiences.

This is an early‑stage initiative in which senior engineers will play a key role in defining the system architecture, technical direction, and engineering standards.

About You You have a passion for solving complex problems and working on products used by millions of people. You enjoy setting the bar high and clearing it. You can lead by example, but you know when to step aside and let the team run with the ball. Your technical knowledge is matched only by your passion for designing, creating, and succeeding with others.

You want to build on your experience. You are interested in making a big impact, but you may currently be limited in your growth potential. Join us, and you will work directly with our talented engineering team to push our product to new heights.

We hire humans, not job descriptions. You should apply even if this role and salary range don’t align with your experience. We’re happy to create unique roles and compensation for the right talent.
