Build the Fastest Ad Engine on the Web

We are a distributed, remote-first team solving hard problems in auction infrastructure, machine learning, and digital media. Come help us build the next generation of transparent ad technology.

Why Work at the Ads

  • Hard, meaningful problems — sub-15ms auctions, real-time yield optimization, and edge infrastructure at global scale.
  • Remote-first, globally distributed — work from where you are, across flexible time zones, with async-first communication.
  • Transparency — the same openness we promise our partners applies to how we operate internally.
  • Ownership and impact — small, senior teams where your work directly shapes the platform.
  • Continuous learning — budget for tools, conferences, and learning that helps you grow.

What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation and equity in a fast-moving platform company.
  • Remote-first setup with a home-office stipend.
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage for eligible team members.
  • Paid time off, parental leave, and flexible working hours.
  • Home lab and infrastructure budget for engineering and research.
