• Support integration workstreams from discovery through launch, including scope definition, interface and data-flow mapping, dependency tracking, risk identification, milestone coordination, and operational readiness.
• Assist with onboarding new advertising features, platforms, and partners by documenting technical capabilities, limitations, dependencies, open questions, and risks, and by aligning implementation details to business requirements and user stories.
• Develop and maintain test plans, QA flows, validation checklists, acceptance criteria, and certification processes for the successful delivery of new advertising features and integrations.
• Build working knowledge across SSAI, SGAI, CSAI, ad serving and decisioning systems, programmatic integrations, metadata ingestion, measurement, and VOD, linear, and live advertising workflows across web, mobile, and CTV streaming products.
