Job description

At Quantcast, we're redefining what's possible in digital advertising. As a global Demand Side Platform (DSP) powered by AI, we help marketers connect with the right audiences and deliver measurable results across the Open Web. Our foundation is built on cutting-edge measurement and consumer analytics, giving our clients the tools they need to drive success in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

Since our start in 2006, we've pioneered industry firsts—from launching the original measurement platform for digital publishers to introducing the first AI-driven DSP. If you're ready to be part of a dynamic, forward-thinking team that thrives on creating transformative solutions, Quantcast is the perfect place to grow your career.

The Partner Integrations Team at Quantcast plays a pivotal role in delivering seamless ad tech solutions by integrating our systems with key third-party partners. These integrations power essential capabilities such as audience selection, targeting, measurement, and reporting—helping our customers achieve their advertising objectives with precision and efficiency.

We are seeking a Software Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, problem-solving environment and can work with a high degree of autonomy. In this role, you will design, build, and maintain technical integrations that operate at scale in high-volume, low-latency environments. You will apply critical thinking to complex challenges, proactively identify improvements, and contribute to the continued evolution of our platform.

What you'll do:

• Design, build, and scale integrations between our high-performance distributed systems and third-party platforms.
• Contribute to new feature development, architectural improvements, and integration tooling enhancements.
• Maintain clean, high-quality, and well-documented codebases with a focus on readability, maintainability, and performance.
• Bring creative and analytical thinking to solve complex technical problems and propose innovative solutions.
• Diagnose and resolve technical issues in large-scale, mission-critical environments.
• Participate in on-call rotations, taking ownership of urgent operational issues when they arise.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams while also demonstrating the ability to work independently and self-directedly.

Who you are:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience.
• Minimum 0 - 3 years of industry experience in software engineering.
• Proficient in Java with a deep understanding of the Java ecosystem.
• Working knowledge of the Python ecosystem.
• Strong fundamentals in software development practices—including version control, code review, testing, release processes, monitoring, and debugging.
• Passion for tackling technical challenges in high-scale, low-latency distributed systems.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to break down complex problems into actionable steps.
• Self-motivated, with the initiative to learn and adapt quickly in a rapidly evolving environment.
• Interest in ad tech, systems integration, and performance optimization.
• Collaborative, team-oriented mindset with a willingness to take ownership and drive projects to completion.
