Job description

VideoAmp is on a mission to create the best employee and workplace experience where people can bring their whole self to work everyday. We believe that accomplishing something great requires a special group of people who work hard, drive results and have a blast while doing it - people who challenge the status quo and embody our values. People who say “I’ll find a way” instead of saying “it can’t be done.”

At VideoAmp , we believe in challenging advertising paradigms to maximize value for clients. We do this by enabling companies to execute on business outcomes across their media investment instead of more traditional media metrics. VideoAmp is the software and data solutions company powering the convergence of linear TV and digital video advertising. Our solutions connect linear TV viewership with addressable data assets to benefit the marketing and media industries. This enables marketers and content owners to holistically plan, transact, and measure deduplicated audiences across digital video, OTT, connected and linear TV advertising.

• Identify, evaluate, and drive the adoption of new tools, technologies, and process enhancements to improve team efficiency and the performance of the delivered systems.
• Champion the mentorship and career development of engineering leaders and individual contributors.
• Actively participate in the hiring process to attract and onboard top engineering talent aligned with the teams' technical needs and culture.
• Stay informed on media and advertising technology trends and translate these insights into technical strategies and product priorities for the UI and reporting platforms.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 10+ years of overall experience in software engineering.
• 5+ years of experience in an engineering leadership role, specifically overseeing multiple engineering teams.
• Demonstrated proficiency in both people management and technical architecture.
• Proven track record of successfully rearchitecting and scaling complex products and systems in production environments.
• Hands-on experience with Golang, HTMX, Python, or equivalent technologies.
• Experience managing engineering organizations and a history of delivering high-quality, impactful systems.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
