The Core Tech Engineering Team at Smaato is looking for skilled and passionate Java Software Engineers. As part of the Core Tech Team you will work on the application where all threads come together: the backend of the ad exchange. Our ultra efficient exchange is capable of processing more than 40 billion ad requests daily. For each incoming impression from a Publisher, Smaato’s SSP generates multiple outgoing requests to our Demand partners (DSPs). Consequently, every line of code you write matters as it is likely to be executed several billion times a day. We are one of the biggest AWS users with a presence in four different regions. If you want your code to make an impact this is the place to be.
