To reinvent how media is bought, sold, and valued, shaping a more efficient advertising ecosystem.

Role

  • Fluency with one or more mainstream strongly-typed, compiled programming languages such as Go, Java, C#, or C++
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Proficiency with a version control system like GitHub including code review processes
  • Collaborate with peers across the entire range of development activities that includes distilling engineering designs from product requirements, development of work plans, building consensus, implementation, testing, productization, monitoring, and maintenance
  • B.S. or equivalent in Computer Science, Math, or similarly technical field preferred

Desirable

  • Experience developing RESTful, resource-oriented APIs as distributed systems using gRPC and Go
  • Experience building large scale data processing pipelines using SQL or Spark with a data warehousing product like Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift
  • Experience with monorepo development strategies and the Bazel build system
  • Experience with cloud deployment of distributed systems on AWS using Kubernetes
  • Experience working on a distributed team using asynchronous communication and project management strategies

What the job involves

  • As a Backend Engineer on the Planning team, you’ll be building the APIs that empower our clients to create comprehensive media plans for advertising campaigns that drive efficient outcomes on the VideoAmp platform in a user-friendly and scalable way
  • Our work will directly impact how major brands and publishers value, transact, and measure television and digital advertising
  • You will work with our Data Science, Measurement, and Engineering Services teams to ensure that our methodologies are rigorous and best-in-class, our data pipelines are correct and reliable, and our APIs are responsive and highly available
  • The successful candidate will be a strong coder and excellent problem solver who prefers learning by doing

Our take

For companies looking for a more advanced and streamlined advertising ecosystem, VideoAmp provides tools to measure, transact with and unify audiences that were previously hard to interact with across the disparate traditional systems of TV, streaming and digital media.

In today's world where digital users are keenly aware of their data being used, sold and analyzed, VideoAmp has shrewdly put user privacy at its forefront. Its suite of data and software solutions allows a view of the audience which powers a more effective value exchange for the whole industry. Audiences no longer have to see irrelevant advertising and companies can bring users the content they want to see without compromising privacy.

The company has raised significant funding, further accelerating its leadership position in optimization solutions for the convergent TV ecosystem. This capital has also allowed VideoAmp to acquire Elsy, a media investment optimization platform. Alongside partnerships with media giants Omnicom Media and NBCUniversal, this is testament to VideoAmp’s growing momentum.
