We're looking for customer-obsessed, innovative, professional engineers who can help us take our products to the next level of functionality, quality and performance. We embrace leaders with a startup mentality — those who seek a disruptive yet clear mission and purpose, have an unambiguous owner's mindset, and are relentlessly obsessed with delivering amazing products. As a Sr. Software Engineer on our team, you will be responsible for delivering large-scale, operationally robust software such as new targeting controls, ad sourcing techniques, automated optimization strategies, and advertiser-facing recommendations. You'll own significant products and features from design through launch, and will work with product managers, scientists, UX designers, and other engineers to make your efforts successful. If this sounds like your sort of challenge, read on.Characteristics indicative of success in this role:
• Highly analytical: You solve problems in ways that can be backed up with verifiable data. You focus on driving processes, tools, and statistical methods which support rational decision-making.
• Technically fearless: You aren't satisfied by performing 'as expected' and push the limits past conventional boundaries. Your dial goes to '11'.
• Engaged by ambiguity: You're able to explore new - problem spaces with unique constraints and non-obvious solutions.
• Team obsessed individual contributor: You help grow your team members to achieve outstanding results. You've learned that big plans generally involve collaboration and great communications.
• Quality obsessed: You recognize that professional engineers ship complete, tested software to avoid getting trapped in a sea of technical debt. You balance speed with quality.
