ABOUT THE ROLE AND THE PROJECT

Day-to-day work & projects cooking

As a Fronted Developer in our Advertising Display team, our main domain focuses on visual advertising formats within the marketplace, including banner ads. Together we manage the ad placements, visibility, performance and audience targeting, including but not necessarily limited to display ads and banner ads.

You focus on developing features that deliver functional, responsive, and stunning user experiences. You collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, product managers, UX designers, and business developers, to craft optimal solutions to product requirements. Your days include contributing to the technical execution of user experiences for display ads, participating in code reviews, and ensuring high-quality software solutions meet both functional and non-functional requirements. You also take part in technical design meetings, aligning solutions with both technical and business goals, and addressing technical debt to build loosely coupled, scalable systems.

The challenge and the opportunity!

This role presents the opportunity to shape how advertising integrates seamlessly into marketplaces while learning and experimenting in a supportive environment. Your expertise helps define a modern, scalable approach to advertising technology.

Your chance to make an impact comes also in the shapes of innovation and experimentation: you explore new opportunity spaces and identify innovative business models and ad formats. You will also develop new value propositions to replace or complement high-impact formats. Lastly, you don’t shy away from the opportunity to potentially mentor junior developers, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.
