About The Position

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.

Requirements

5+ years of software development experience building scalable systems
General familiarity with the programmatic advertising ecosystem is preferred but not mandatory. This may include experience with DSPs, SSPs, ad exchanges, affiliate programs, Prebid.js, Prebid Server, Google Ad Manager, Amazon UAM/TAM, OpenRTB, identity and addressability solutions, as well as ad operations workflows.
Strong computer science fundamentals based on a degree in computer science or distinctive work experience in software development.
Solid understanding of distributed system architecture focusing on availability, reliability and performance.
Strong focus on execution and delivery of the product
Exceptional attention to detail and focus on quality and long-term goals
Strong communication skills
A demonstrated ability to provide guidance, mentorship, and support
A leadership mindset. You take initiative, make decisions and deliver results consistently.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment where learning and adaptability are key.
