Job description

StackAdapt is a self-serve advertising platform that specializes in multi-channel solutions including native, display, video, connected TV, audio, in-game ads and digital out-of-home ads. We empower thousands of digitally-focused companies to deliver outcomes and exceptional campaign performance every day. StackAdapt was founded with a vision to be more than an advertising platform; it’s a hub of innovation, imagination, and creativity.

About The Company:

StackAdapt is the no. 1 performing programmatic advertising platform helping brands accelerate customer engagement and acquisition. This state-of-the-art platform is where some of the most progressive work in machine learning meets cutting-edge user experience.

Ranking the highest in performance by G2 Crowd for the fourth time, we're one of the fastest growing companies in Canada and rank 6th in Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 ranking and 23rd in Fast 500 in North America.

We're always keeping an eye out for talented developers as we build cutting-edge software. The digital advertising industry is riddled with interesting challenges as we continue to scale out our platform with a fast-growing list of customers. Our technologies include Ruby on Rails, Go, React, Typescript, GraphQL, Aerospike, Redis, Elasticsearch, Amazon Redshift, and others. This position is open to remote candidates in North America.

About the Team:

The Creatives Library Team is building a full-fledged library of dynamic creative assets and resources. This library will allow clients to store, host, and manage bulk creative assets for ad campaigns on the platform. This library will also include creative templates for clients to build quick off-the-shelf display ad creatives on the platform. We aim to reduce the need to integrate with expensive third-party creative providers that charge on a CPM basis and provide a full-featured in-house solution.

What you'll be doing:

• Design, improve, and debug complex, scalable distributed systems.
• Be able to take responsibility and ownership of projects from start to finish.
• Provide mentorship to interns and junior engineers.
• Always on the lookout to keep the tech stack updated with current standards.
• Write extensible, scalable, and test-driven code.
• Take part in technical planning and architectural decision-making.
• Collaborate with team members on designing scalable, well-tested, and well-documented web architecture, including APIs and backend systems.
• Contribute to code reviews and technical spec reviews.

What you'll bring to the table:

• 5+ years of full-time work experience building highly performant web applications.
• Knowledge of our full-stack technologies is highly preferred - Ruby on Rails, React, Typescript, GraphQL, etc.
• Hands-on experience of leading a technical project end-to-end, from design to delivery.
• Experience working on large-scale Ruby on Rails / Go projects.
• Strong understanding of scalable system design for web-based APIs and backend processing systems.
• Experience collaborating closely with Product & Design to design, implement, and iterate on high-impact end-to-end product experiences.
• Experience working with relational databases and key-value stores.
• Basic knowledge of AWS or other equivalent cloud platforms (GCP, Azure, etc.).
• Experience analyzing, benchmarking, and optimizing web application page load performance across the entire stack.
• Experience with creatives, AdTag or programmatic advertising is a plus.

StackAdapters Enjoy:

• Competitive salary + equity
• RRSP matching
• 3 weeks vacation + 3 personal care days + 1 Culture & Belief day + birthdays off
• Access to a comprehensive mental health care platform
• Full benefits from day one of employment
• Work from home reimbursements
