Overview
We’re looking for a frontend engineer to help us build a widget development framework. We want to quickly create new widget designs, roll them out to our bidders automatically and A/B test them on scale – reaching millions of people in just a few minutes. We’re currently growing our display ad inventory buying and we’re building widgets that bring noninvasive native experiences to the banner world. Widgets you’ll build will reach millions and will be displayed on the world biggest publishers.

Marketing agencies love our dashboard – they use it to run native advertising campaigns that reach millions of people every month. Offering them the tools they need to be successful is our main priority, so we are expanding our engineering team to take our platform to the next level.
