Job description

Overview

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 measurable outcomes that move the needle. Since 2006, we’ve been a trailblazer, launching the first AI-powered measurement platform for publishers and the first AI-driven DSP. Ready to join the team that’s defining the future of digital advertising?

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Partner Integrations team. The team acts as a bridge between Quantcast and the third parties needed to achieve our customers’ advertising goals. The team is responsible for bringing all available ad opportunities on the open internet to our platform, managing the entire lifecycle of all creatives as well as ingestion of customer segments from data platforms. We work closely with partners and our high-volume live integrations to ensure smooth operation. Our systems range from monoliths to microservices, all hosted in AWS with data pipelines that process several terabytes of data daily. We are responsible for the evolution and continuing operational excellence of these systems that enable successful ad campaigns on the Quantcast platform.

What You’ll Do

• Drive engineering initiatives through design, implementation and production rollout, ensuring systems are reliable, monitored, and adopted by users.
• Identify and resolve cross-team technical and commercial bottlenecks, coordinating with wider engineering teams, other functions, and third-party partners to ensure project success.
• Support the professional development of peers and junior team members by providing regular, constructive feedback on code, system design, and engineering processes.
• Manage the resolution of complex on-call incidents, coordinating team-wide responses and implementing measures to improve long-term system health.

You might be a great fit for this role if you:

• Focus on outcomes: you measure success by positive business results and customer adoption rather than finishing code alone.
• Operate with autonomy: you turn high-level priorities into actionable technical roadmaps with minimal supervision.
• Bridge the gap: you understand end-customer use cases and translate requirements into robust technical solutions.
• Advocate for excellence: you mentor others and maintain high standards for code quality and operational reliability.

Who You Are

• You have at least 2 years of experience building and maintaining complex, high-scale distributed systems.
• You have a degree in Computer Science or an adjacent field.
• You can distill complex technical updates into clear, actionable information for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• You excel at working across team boundaries and with third parties to untangle dependencies and move projects forward.
• You have a deep understanding of observability and what it takes to keep mission-critical systems running in a high-velocity production environment.
• You are proficient in Java or a similar modern programming language, with a deep understanding of how to leverage it to build and scale high-performance systems.
