- You have experience in developing web-based applications. You occasionally participate in coding competitions
- You are experienced in Object Oriented Programming
- You have a strong sense of ownership and a dislike for passing the buck

What the job involves
- The Product Engineering team builds the products that make Criteo tick: from developing industry-leading machine learning techniques to building high scale/low latency real-time applications (over 5M QPS, handling over 300 Bn HTTP requests daily), to delivering first-class client interfaces, both API and UI, with forward-thinking UX at their core, all using state of the art technology
- During your internship (6 months) and according to your choice, skills, and interest, you can tackle one of the following subjects:
- Back-end: participate to build large-scale pipelines and systems that make the best decision in a very short time, half a million times per second
- Full stack: MasterTag request production and parsing - Technical stack: a bit of TypeScript/JavaScript, C# (.Net Frmwk, .Net Core), and Mesos
- Front end: Design and implement a component in a web application that will be used to manipulate big JSON markup easily. The goal is to provide a tool to create or change layout banners in a simple and efficient way
- Data quality in the RichTimeline (Remove fraudulent users and identify low-value data)
- In a team of 5-7, you will be working closely with your mentor to drive your project, design, and ensure best practices are applied. You can ask questions and participate in all knowledge-sharing sessions/workshops, etc. You are encouraged to actively voice your ideas whilst learning how to build and ship quality code into production which will likely affect millions of users instantly
Our take
Commerce marketing is a huge business with billions spent every year on adverts. And companies that help businesses create and deliver more targeted adverts can command a lot of value. Criteo is one such company operating in this space.
Criteo is a personalised retargeting company connecting marketers and media owners through its Commerce Media Platform, delivering richer consumer experiences. Criteo uses machine-learning technology and data to drive performance, helping marketers and media owners reach their goals.
As marketers are increasingly looking for commerce media solutions, Criteo is operating in a sought-after space. Further, around 73% of media owners seek to optimise media performance as a way to both generate awareness and drive revenue, meaning the company has a significant potential client base. Criteo has continued to make headway here, driving 5 billion ads per day, and is well set to see further adoption of its platform.
