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.

StackAdapt is a remote-first company; we are open to candidates located anywhere in North America for this position.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, improve, and debug complex, scalable distributed systems.
• Find solutions to optimize bottlenecks and general system-wide performance.
• 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.
• Be able to take responsibility and ownership of projects from start to finish.
• Contribute to code reviews and technical spec reviews.
• Be a significant individual contributor and a key asset in delivering critical projects that ultimately bring value to our customers.
• Conduct technical interviews to attract and identify potential high-performing candidates.

What You'll Bring To The Table

• 8+ years of experience building highly performant web applications with outstanding UX.
• Knowledge of our full-stack technologies is highly preferred - React, Typescript, GraphQL, Ruby on Rails, and Go.
• Extensive experience working with a test-driven approach to writing code with one or more of our core full-stack (or comparable) technologies.
• 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.
• Experience analyzing, benchmarking, and optimizing web application performance across the entire stack.
• Experience leading large-scale modernization efforts to revamp legacy systems from start to finish.
• An appetite for unpacking complexity and simplifying it wherever possible.

StackAdapters enjoy:

• Highly competitive salary.
• RRSP/401K 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.
• Optional global WeWork membership for those who want a change from their home office.
• Robust training and onboarding program.
• Coverage and support of personal development initiatives (conferences, courses, etc).
• Access to StackAdapt programmatic courses and certifications to support continuous learning.
• An awesome parental leave policy.
• A friendly, welcoming, and supportive culture with social and team events!
