About customer & project:

The company provides a cost-effective, ready-to-use, leading-edge AdOps platform for commission-free ad management through a SaaS platform.

This is a SaaS platform for publishers to manage programmatic advertising. The core system is built using WordPress running a standard LAMP stack with a React front-end. All code is managed with GIT.

We are looking for a senior developer to take the lead to build out the back-end system for our new Marketplace service alongside our existing team. The person should have a good understanding of digital advertising (DFP, GAM360 & Prebid) – but does not need to be an expert.

The project is currently in the wireframe and conceptual stage. We encourage the person to contribute ideas on how to best architect and execute the final platform with the following open items:

1) Bid Management:
    a) Act like a Prebid module and be a part of the bid pattern
    b) Act like an Amazon bidder and skip the prebid framework
    c) Also acts as an ad server and serves direct campaigns skipping 
    GAM
2) Creative Delivery
3) Campaign Reporting
    a) Client reimbursement
    b) Fees / Auto payment

The Marketplace is a new service for existing customers to bid on programmatic ad inventory on other customers’ sites. The “Buyer” will create a Campaign, choose from a predetermined network of sites (BIPOC, Luxury, etc.), and set a CPM Bid amount.

Candidates should have experience working with marketplace / ad tech domain

Interview process:
