Company at a Glance
OpenX is focused on unleashing the full economic potential of digital media companies. We do this by making digital advertising markets and technologies that are designed to deliver optimal value to publishers and advertisers on every ad served across all screens.
At OpenX, we have built a team that is uniquely experienced in designing and operating high-scale ad marketplaces, and we are constantly on the lookout for thoughtful, creative executors who are as fascinated as we are about finding new ways to apply a blend of market design, technical innovation, operational excellence, and empathetic partner service to the frontiers of digital advertising.
We are operating at a scale:
100% Cloud-based (GCP) platform
Over 400 billion Ad requests every day
Over 120 000 CPU daily
Over 140 TB RAM daily
Over 50 PB of data per week
Over 1200 production deployments a month
We own a scalable, high-performance ad serving platform that handles billions of transactions per day. The Buy-side Team, as the name suggests, focuses on the Buy-side of the business. The team’s current roadmap revolve around DSP’s (Demand-Side Platforms), our integrations and relationships with them, DSP UI improvements (and its migration to the new design system), fee controls, smart request throttling, signal modifications, and more. The Team builds features and products across our whole stack. This role will present many interesting technical challenges to solve in the areas of distributed computing, high-performance computing, and high availability. On a day-to-day basis, you’ll partner with the Product Manager to scope the features out and deliver solutions to our customers’ problems. Since the Team works in multiple technology stacks, we’re looking for a person that can think in terms of products, while technology is a tool that solves customer’s problems.
