Senior Software Engineer, Programmatic Trading

Job Description

The landscape for online advertising is changing and the market is moving towards a more automated trading environment. Video programmatic is a core focus for Videoplaza and we are investing heavily in this area. We are now looking for a senior software engineer with experience of building highly performant programmatic ad trading platforms.

As a Software Engineer specialised in programmatic ad trading, you would join a team dedicated to integrating programmatic trading capabilities into our core video ad serving platform. You would be working on new features and functionality in every layer of our product, but with a clear emphasis on the backend components.

At Videoplaza we practice Agile development and rely on practices such as TDD, code reviews, continuous integration and continuous deployment. Our development teams work in an autonomous fashion, performing all steps of software development, from architecting to deployment, by themselves. The teams constantly evaluate themselves and the processes, trying to find better ways of doing things and help each other improve.

We're absolutely convinced that in order to be really good at something, you need to truly enjoy doing it. We aim to create an inspiring workplace and believe that a great atmosphere plays an important role in bringing out the very best in every individual.

Most importantly, you are an outstanding software developer. We code mostly in Java and Javascript and use databases, frameworks and tools such as Cassandra, MongoDB, Kafka, Guice, Backbone.js, Git, Ansible, Maven and Jenkins. Solid experience of one or more of these is no doubt a bonus however the kind of person we are looking for quickly and easily picks up new languages and frameworks.

Additionally, for this role we are looking specifically for software engineers that have experience of building highly performant programmatic ad trading platforms, preferably sell-side platforms (SSP) supporting real time bidding (RTB), but experience of building demand side platforms (DSP) is also relevant.

Furthermore we insist that you have a passion for what you do and a hunger for learning new things. We constantly evaluate and try to better ourselves. We expect you to do the same and - just as important - help others improve as well.

All meetings and written communication at Videoplaza are in English. Swedish is not a requirement.

You need to be a natural fit with the Videoplaza team:

Entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial

Self-starting, driven

Energetic, passionate

Desire to learn and grow within the role
