Company Overview:
At Fluency, we come together under two shared passions that drive our culture: the scaling of digital ad operations, and fostering a workplace environment rooted in open communication, inclusivity, and a growth-oriented mindset. These passions not only set us apart in the industry, but also fuel our collective drive to reshape the industry and reinvent ourselves along the way. We’re not just revolutionizing the digital advertising horizon, we’re shaping an organization where every member feels a sense of pride and is inspired to do their best work.

- Work closely with technical leaders to ensure product development aligns with overall strategy and business goals
- Build and maintain strong relationships across the product development organization, emphasizing quality, reliability, and scalability
