- Advanced SQL & Data Wrangler: Possess mastery of SQL (complex joins, advanced queries, reporting, and troubleshooting) paired with a "data wrangler" mindset.

- A subject matter expert leading hands-on with technical know-how, helping to determine methods and procedures on new product features and providing leadership to product managers or engineers
- Bridge the gap between technical AI innovation and tangible business outcomes, partnering with GTM, Success, and Product squads to articulate value
- Showcase how Maverick AI revolutionizes hand-off efficiency and multi-channel attribution for premier enterprise partners like Fox and Scripps
- Exceptional communication skills. You can explain highly complex technical concepts to a non-technical CRO, and then pivot to debate integration concepts, API payloads, and other technical details with a client-side developer
- Proven ability to navigate unstructured client environments and drive clarity and consensus among divergent stakeholders
- Background in AdTech (DSP, SSP, broadcasting, programmatic advertising) is a massive plus
What the job involves
- As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at MadHive, you are a hybrid technical leader operating at the intersection of solution architecture, executive client partnership, and hands-on engineering

- Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner closely with internal MadHive teams (Sales, Client Success, Product, and Core Engineering) to ensure a unified front and seamless client experience from pre-sales through long-term stabilization
- Product Feedback Loop: Synthesize your on-the-ground technical learnings. When custom code or workflows show recurring value across multiple clients, collaborate with Product & Core Engineering to translate those solutions into scalable core platform features
- Tie together all technical aspects such as problem solving, bug remediation, release planning and management, and new feature rollout in a cohesive comprehensive plan
- User, Advocate, Expert, and Enabler of AI technologies in the Madhive eco system and adtech domain
- Rapid Prototyping: Build functional prototypes, automation scripts, and lightweight tooling to accelerate onboarding and prove technical feasibility during critical deployment phases
- How We Measure Success
- Client Trust & Health: Your clients view you as an indispensable extension of their own technical team, reflected in smooth implementations and high retention
- Time-to-Value: Drastically reducing the timeline from a signed contract to a fully operational, revenue-generating technical integration
- Balanced Delivery: Successfully delivering complex solutions that require a blend of strategic relationship management and hands-on technical execution
Our take
The rise in streaming content has revolutionized digital advertising, offering advertisers the potential for more precise campaign calibration. However, alongside this opportunity come new challenges such as consumer overload, ad fraud and data privacy concerns, compounded by the need to integrate with traditional linear television. Navigating these complexities requires a comprehensive solution, and that's where MadHive steps in.
Utilizing AI technology, MadHive's video ad software suite tackles these challenges head-on. It intelligently identifies optimal ad placements, manages ad frequency to prevent saturation, and gauges consumer intent across various platforms including web, mobile and TV. This capability allows advertisers to execute nationwide campaigns with pinpoint local targeting - a remarkable achievement in the dynamic digital content landscape.
Unsurprisingly, MadHive boasts an impressive client roster, boasting a 95% renewal rate with major names like Fox, McAfee and Tegna Premion. This consistent satisfaction has propelled MadHive to expand its offering into critical areas such as data privacy. It also launched the industry's first agentic suite for local media, that supports users to build smarter campaigns faster, and hence accelerate their revenue.
