Full-stack Engineer, Cloud-native, GCP (11 month parental leave cover)

As a Creative Solutions Engineer (L2) 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 strong focus on scalability, robust 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 play an active role in building security-first technical systems and platforms shaped by how creative work is produced, scaled, and secured — requiring strong engineering fundamentals, a compliance-conscious mindset, and an understanding of creative workflows, constraints, and opportunities. The focus is on building flexible, secure, and 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 actively contributing to technical discussions around architecture, security practices, and tooling. 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.
