Teads Ad Manager ("TAM") is the gateway for advertisers and agencies around the world to access the full power of Teads platform and stands at the heart of Teads’ growth strategy through a self-serve interface. We believe in the importance of a product’s continuous improvement and our mission is to offer the most intuitive, responsive, and empowering buying interface in the industry. Teads Ad Manager is used on a monthly basis by more than 4 500 customers and is in constant growth.

The main goal of the TAM Central team, as a Platform team, is to enable +10 Feature Teams (60 unique contributors) to deliver added value features to customers with a low time-to-market. The team provides a technical stack, tooling, guidelines and daily support. In order to achieve this objective, the team has 2 pillars:

• Stabilize the platform to (re)build trust in the application
• Take care of the Developer Experience to collaborate in a consistent, efficient and reliable way

In 2024, the main project is to review and redesign our current application to transform it into a real platform. A platform where any feature plugs and plays smoothly benefiting core capabilities like observability, global network i/o, feature flagging, feature adoption, internationalization, etc.
