- Pixel Tracking System: Design and implement a reliable, privacy-compliant frontend tracking system that logs page views, clicks, and conversions across the web
- Web Ads SDK: Develop and maintain a lightweight JavaScript SDK that handles auction logic, rendering, and performance monitoring on publisher sites
- Data Collection Infrastructure: Ensure high-quality client-side instrumentation to support attribution, analytics, and retargeting
- Privacy & Compliance: Respect GDPR/CCPA and user consent through proper tracking logic and conditional firing
- Cross-team Collaboration: Work closely with backend, data, and product teams to ensure end-to-end tracking integrity and accuracy

- Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field.
- 3+ years of experience as a frontend engineer or in a similar role.
- 3+ years of experience programming with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, or similar programming languages.
- 3+ years of experience with frontend frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js.
- Experience with responsive and mobile design.
- Basic understanding of backend development.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with ads-related products (e.g., Prebid.js, GPT, Facebook Pixel, Google Ads tag)
- Understanding of real-time bidding, auctions, and header bidding
- Familiarity with identity resolution, UTM/cookie handling, or postback flows
- Contributions to analytics, instrumentation, or event-tracking frameworks

We offer a competitive benefits package:
- Health, dental, and vision care for you and your family (100% coverage for employee)
- Top-tier 401(K) plan with company matching
