Job description

SeeViews is a progressive young company that is pioneering how brands advertise on YouTube.

YouTube is one of the world’s most effective advertising platforms. It provides brands with a huge variety of video content, all of which are great advertising opportunities.

TV has always been the gold standard of brand advertising, but as people’s viewing habits change brands are looking for platforms beyond TV to engage their target audience while they are immersed in premium content.

SeeViews has developed technology which connects advertisers with professionally produced, high value YouTube content that has the look, feel and effectiveness of TV. No user generated content, just channels and shows that audiences know, love and trust.

We are a fast moving, fast growing business that has already established a credible position in the industry. We have been appointed by Barb (the industry’s most trusted and respected audience measurement organisation) to assist in developing their YouTube measurement programme. We have been identified by FEBE as one of the top businesses to watch in 2025. We work with some of the world’s largest brands, broadcasters, production houses and media agencies.

We are committed to becoming a guiding light for the advertising industry as the streaming world becomes more complex and intricate.

Our culture

Being part of a start-up takes a special kind of superstar. We are team that is focussed on building a business that will disrupt a tightly controlled industry to ensure advertising can keep pace with the lightening rate of user behaviour change. Here are some of the principles we live by.

This focus means we need builders not robots. Our people are curious, agile, creative self-starters. We are doing things that have never been done before, our people work without blueprints, taking responsibility to find the best way forward. We are not afraid to rip it up and start again if the old way is no longer relevant. We are always asking if there could be a better way.

PACE PACE PACE. We are growing fast, we are developing fast and we are working fast. Our customers are independent, forward thinkers who want to be at the cutting edge of what is possible in advertising. We love being able to keep pace with change and responding to the ever evolving habits of consumers.

At SeeViews the best idea wins and we know they rarely come from the board room. Everyone at Seviews has an equal voice. Everyone has psychological safety, anyone can comfortably say when something isn’t working or when something should be changed and everyone is encouraged to bat around any idea…you never know when those small ideas could end up changing everything.

Capability and attitude trumps experience. The right person is more important than the perfect CV.

The Role

This is a software development role for someone with at least 3-5 years experience. The role is integral to the evolution of our already market leading technology. We are developing technology which aims to gain a deep understanding of the content, context and user behaviours on platforms such as YouTube to deliver advertisers more relevant, targeted and effective campaigns than ever before.

We’re a startup so need a self starter who is happy to work both in London and at home. The role will be to lead the development of key projects in our product roadmap.

The successful candidate should have superb attention to detail, interpersonal skills

(we work as a dynamic team where collaboration is key) and impeccable organization and administration skills.

We would love to see candidates who have experience in the media and advertising industry who also have a keen interest in the development and application of AI.

Key responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain scalable backend systems in Node.js to collect, process, and deliver data from APIs and other digital platforms.
• Develop and optimize API integrations (including YouTube Data API) to ensure reliable and efficient data ingestion.
• Implement and manage data pipelines to support analytics, targeting, and advertising campaign optimization.
• Collaborate with product managers, data teams, and marketing stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Write clean, maintainable, and testable code, following modern software engineering best practices.
• Contribute to the architecture and design of new features, ensuring performance, scalability, and security.
• Manage and optimize databases (SQL and/or NoSQL) for storing and querying large-scale media and advertising datasets.
• Deploy and monitor services in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), ensuring system reliability and uptime.
• Stay up to date with emerging technologies in ad tech, APIs, and backend development, bringing new ideas to the team.

Requirements:

• Proven experience as a developer, preferably within the advertising technology or digital media space.
• Strong proficiency in Node.js for data processing, automation, and integration with internal and external APIs.
• Experience working with YouTube API, social media platforms, or similar data sources is highly desirable.
• Advanced skills in SQL and working with large datasets from various sources (structured and unstructured), ideally using BigQuery and GCP.
• Familiarity with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, Looker) to present insights clearly and effectively.
• Understanding of digital advertising metrics (e.g., impressions, CPM, engagement rate) and campaign performance analysis is an advantage.
• Ability to design, build, and maintain data pipelines to support real-time and batch analytics.
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills; able to interpret complex data and translate it into actionable insights.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate cross-functionally with engineers, product managers, and marketing teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field such as Computer Science (or similar), or equivalent experience.

We are an equal opportunity employer, and support workforce diversity. Our aim is to ensure our workforce is diverse and inclusive and we promote these values throughout our organisation.
