Engineering

at Stack Adapt

As an engineer at Stack Adapt, you’ll build production‑level software that directly impacts our advertising platform. You’ll work with modern stacks across Go, Ruby on Rails, React, Graph

QL, and more. Our engineering org is collaborative, cross‑functional, and built around clear growth paths.

About the team

You’ll join the Creatives Platform group—an engineering team responsible for the systems and tooling that power self‑serve creative creation and our in‑house creative template library.

About the role

We’re hiring a design‑led technologist to be a dedicated creative template partner embedded with engineering. The focus is to collect feedback and design new creative templates across channels, especially motion‑heavy formats (Video/DCO). Bridge engineering, product, and client‑facing teams by identifying creative library gaps and translating them into scalable platform capabilities. This role is intentionally design + motion forward, with enough technical comfort to produce and iterate on templates directly.

What

You’ll Be Doing

  • Design and produce programmatic templates using client assets and/or original concepts, spanning static, animated, and interactive formats.
  • Create motion‑forward template systems (animation patterns, transitions, reusable motion components) using tools like After Effects / Animate / Google Web Designer (or similar).
  • Partner with Engineering / Creative Studio / Product to understand what customers struggle to create, then translate insights into:
    • New template concepts and reusable patterns for our in‑house creative library
    • Platform/library capability gaps for engineer and designer to build together (e.g., missing building blocks, controls, animation features, workflows)
  • Develop ads creative best practices across channels and industries, and work with the team to apply vertical‑specific creative strategies and patterns to inform template design.
  • Participate in select customer/CS discussions to validate requirements and ensure templates solve real problems.
  • Own quality checks (visual polish, specs compliance, responsiveness, accessibility considerations where applicable, and functional testing).
  • Improve template workflows through standards (naming, structure, components), documentation, and experimentation with better tooling—including AI‑assisted workflows where helpful.

What You’ll Bring to the Table

  • 5+ years of experience as a motion/visual designer (or equivalent portfolio‑based experience).
  • A portfolio showing strong digital advertising craft across display / social / web (motion work required; interactive is a plus).
  • Intermediate+ motion/animation skills and strong visual design fundamentals (composition, typography, pacing, brand sensibility).
  • Practical experience with HTML5 + CSS
    , including debugging/troubleshooting interactive creatives.

    Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite
    , especially After Effects
    ; familiarity with Google Web Designer / Animate is a plus.

  • Strong collaboration skills: you can translate ambiguous needs into clear template requirements and work effectively with engineers.

Nice to Have

  • Experience optimizing creative assets for mobile/video environments; familiarity with DOOH and/or native formats.
  • Experience with DCO / feed‑driven creative or template frameworks.
  • Basic video/audio editing experience.
  • Hands‑on experience applying AI tools (or a strong interest in doing so) to improve creative production workflows.
  • Familiarity with Figma, component libraries, or design systems for reusable creative building blocks.

Benefits

  • Highly competitive salary
  • Retirement / 401K / Pension savings globally
  • Competitive paid time off packages including birthday’s off!
