Our competitive advertising intelligence platform enables clients to achieve peak performance with always-on data and insights that span the media, creative, and business strategies of five million brands across 30+ media channels. As we expand our footprint from the US into Europe and deepen our focus on media intelligence, we're looking for engineers who can help scale our platform and products globally.

Productivity: Use of modern AI coding assistants (Copilot, ChatGPT) to accelerate development.

Key Responsibilities

• Feature Development: Own moderately complex, well-scoped features end-to-end — from design through implementation, testing, and deployment

• Cloud & Quality: Apply cloud-based deployment practices (AWS/Azure) and write clean, tested, well-documented code
• Collaboration: Work with Product, Data, and other Engineering teams, escalating non-standard or higher-risk situations to senior engineers
• Code Reviews: Participate actively in code reviews and apply feedback to raise the quality of your work

Key Qualifications

• Experience Level: Roughly 1-3 years of professional software engineering experience (Intermediate level)

• Industry Relevance: Exposure to adtech, advertising, media, analytics, or competitive-intelligence platforms is a strong plus
• SQL: Comfortable writing and troubleshooting SQL queries
• Nice to Have: Familiarity with LLM/agentic frameworks (LangChain or similar), or exposure to sports-media data
• Software Rigor: Solid testing habits, clean code practices, and a collaborative, growth-oriented mindset
• Professional fluency in written and spoken English: Strong communication skills to effectively collaborate with distributed engineering, product, and business teams across North America, India, and Europe

• Agentic Insights: Building foundational skills in AI-driven, customizable insight generation for our Insights Studio product line
