Job description

At Quantcast, we don't just build advertising technology, we revolutionize how it works. Our AI-powered Demand Side Platform (DSP) connects the world's most ambitious marketers with their ideal audiences across the open internet, delivering results that actually move the needle. Since 2006, we've been the industry's trailblazer, launching the first AI-powered measurement platform for publishers and the first AI-driven DSP. Our AI doesn't just optimize—it delivers the measurable outcomes that matter most to our clients, giving them the competitive edge they need in a crowded marketplace. Ready to join the team that's defining the future of digital advertising?

Quantcast is hiring a Software Engineer to join the Payments & Incentives Team in our London Office. We are building the next generation advertising platform to enable our customers to run digital advertising campaigns on the open web as simply and effectively as possible. To enable this mission, the newly constituted Payments & Incentives team is innovating solutions to integrate efficient payment & billing processes and reward programs into our platform.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer with a strong product mindset and passion for software engineering quality, who will be able to work well with the velocity of our engineering teams. You are passionate about API Standards, Test Driven Development and have strong opinions on the right way to build and operate services. You will write code, design systems, build out proof of concepts, compare and contrast technology alternatives that improve systems and automation throughout our products and tech stack. Working alongside senior engineers and product owners, you will build highly performant systems in a domain that’s a key enabler for the growth of the platform and the Company.

What you'll do:

• Define, code, test, and deploy software focused on process simplification and automation.
• Work directly with internal customers and other business stakeholders to understand requirements and contribute to product definitions and system and solution design.
• Follow the engineering best practices as defined by the team and organization, from testing, deployment, documenting, operating services and code quality.
• Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to team members.
• Participate in a team-wide on-call rotation.

Who you are:

• 1-2 years experience working as a Software Engineer.
• Computer Science degree or equivalent experience (We recognize that knowledge and skills equivalent to those earned in a degree program can also be achieved via nontraditional paths, and welcomes applicants with nontraditional training.)
• Strong core Java skills (knowledge of GO is highly desirable).
• Experience in designing and implementing APIs and Microservices.
• Understanding of the full software development life cycle (scoping, prioritization, planning, execution, operation, end-of-life) and the tools that assist it (source control, continuous integration, deployment tools) in an Agile environment.

Bonus points:

• Experience with JavaScript and FrontEnd technologies like React, Redux, Redux-Saga, Hooks, TypeScript, ES6, SASS (and more).
• Experience of Cloud technology (AWS or similar).
• Experience with container technologies (Docker or similar) and container orchestration tools (Kubernetes or similar).
• Understanding of Messaging Technologies (Kafka, SQS).
