<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>About Wunderkind:<br><br></strong></span></p>
<p>Wunderkind ads are 'behaviorally triggered', meaning that ads are served on a premium list of publishers only when a user is done consuming content. Our proprietary tag is integrated directly on the publisher page to track on-site user behavior - making '<strong data-stringify-type="bold">net new' </strong>ad placements. <em data-stringify-type="italic">How </em>we serve the ad is why we are different from our competitors in-market.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rather than placing an ad in front of someone while they're actively trying to read content, our technology patiently waits until a visitor has stopped reading before rendering our ad on the page. And that patience pays off -- it turns out that when an ad experience respects the user's reason for visiting a page, the user respects the ad experience in return. This unique, brand safe approach to ad experience gives an advertiser's message more attention and greater engagement.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Summary</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">We are seeking a senior full stack engineer who can help deliver Wunderkind Advertising's roadmap across supply, demand, and platform investments. This includes building and scaling campaign placements and triggers (overlay takeovers, mastheads, in-feed, gallery / milestone units, slider placements, progress bars, ad refresh, and multiple-campaign activation), integrating SSP demand sources, improving OpenRTB-based auction flows, and evolving advertiser / publisher tooling and reporting. The ideal profile combines strong backend engineering, practical frontend product development, and fluency in ad-tech concepts and vocabulary.</span></p>
<h1><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The Profile We Are Looking For</span></h1>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">A senior engineer who can move comfortably between backend services, APIs, data / event flows, and frontend product surfaces without losing momentum in either layer.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Someone who can reason about advertising systems using the language of supply, demand, campaigns, placements, bid requests, SSP integrations, OpenRTB, creative constraints, pacing, segmentation, and reporting.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">An engineer who can translate roadmap themes into implementation plans - for example, new ad placements, campaign-type expansion, refresh logic, segmentation controls, bulk-edit tooling, publisher workflows, and advertiser-facing reporting capabilities.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">A pragmatic builder who can operate in ambiguity, identify the right system boundaries, and ship incremental value while preserving long-term platform quality.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Ads-space experience is a strong asset; CTV, SSP, auction, or broader ad-tech experience is especially valuable.</span></li>
</ul>
<h1><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Role Responsibilities: </strong></span></h1>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Design, build, and maintain full stack product capabilities across backend services, APIs, frontend interfaces, and internal tools that support Wunderkind Advertising.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Implement supply-side product capabilities such as new placements, trigger logic, refresh behavior, and multi-campaign activation rules across onsite, in-app, and adjacent ad surfaces.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Build frontend and backend workflows that support advertiser and publisher use cases, including segmentation controls, placement configuration, campaign setup, and bulk-edit or operational tooling.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Contribute to demand-side integrations and optimization work, including SSP onboarding, OpenRTB request / response handling, auction logic, curation flows, and traffic-shaping or path-optimization capabilities.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Partner closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to translate roadmap items into clear technical designs, scoped milestones, and production-ready implementations.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Develop reporting and observability capabilities that improve visibility into bids, impressions, inventory, advertiser outcomes, and platform health.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Write clean, modular, testable code and uphold strong engineering standards through code reviews, documentation, and thoughtful system design.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Help shape architecture and delivery decisions around latency-sensitive systems, event-driven workflows, privacy-aware data handling, and operational reliability.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Support production readiness by contributing to monitoring, troubleshooting, incident response, and ongoing platform improvements.</span></li>
</ul>
<h1><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Required Qualifications:</strong></span></h1>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including substantial hands-on experience in both backend and frontend development.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Strong proficiency in at least one backend language such as Go, Java, or similar, with experience building production APIs, services, and integrations.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Strong proficiency in modern frontend development, ideally with React and TypeScript, including experience building product configuration or operational interfaces.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Experience designing and integrating with RESTful APIs, event-driven systems, and service-oriented architectures.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Ability to model and implement business logic for campaigns, placements, segmentation, reporting, or workflow configuration in a scalable and maintainable way.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals, production debugging, observability, and performance considerations.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Ability to reason about ad-tech concepts such as supply and demand flows, SSP integrations, OpenRTB, VAST, impression / click tracking, creative metadata, privacy signals, and latency-sensitive request paths.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Experience working with telemetry, analytics, or event streams to power reporting and operational visibility.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Comfort working across the full delivery lifecycle: discovery, technical design, implementation, testing, deployment, and post-launch support.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the judgment to make pragmatic trade-offs in ambiguous environments.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Ability to work independently and autonomously without requiring constant supervision.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Excellent communication and collaboration skills.</span></li>
</ul>
<h1><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Additional Qualifications:</strong></span></h1>
<div>
<ul>

<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Experience building configurable campaign, placement, segmentation, or rules-based product capabilities.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Experience with advertiser reporting, publisher tooling, dashboards, or bulk-edit / operations interfaces.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Experience with Kubernetes, service-oriented architectures, queues / streams, or observability tooling.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Exposure to video, image, or creative-processing pipelines, including asset packaging or transformation flows.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<h1><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>What Success Looks Like</strong></span></h1>
