About Mediavine
Mediavine is a fast-growing advertising management company representing over 10,000 websites in the food, lifestyle, DIY, and entertainment space. Founded by content creators, for content creators, Mediavine is a Top 20 Comscore property, exclusively reaching over 125 million monthly unique visitors. With best-in-class technology and a commitment to traffic quality and brand safety, we ensure optimal performance for our creators.
About the Role
The AdTech Engineering team owns the systems at the heart of Mediavine’s business — the web wrapper that runs on every publisher site, our server-to-server (s2s) ad exchange, header bidding, A/B testing infrastructure, partner integrations, and privacy/consent tooling. The work is high-leverage and highly visible: changes you ship can move revenue across thousands of sites within hours.
We’re looking for an experienced Software Engineer to join the team. You’ll lead projects end-to-end across our JavaScript/TypeScript wrapper and our Rust-based OpenRTB server, partner with Ad Operations, SRE, Data, and Product to ship measurable improvements, and mentor your peers along the way.
What You’ll Do
Lead and execute multiple concurrent projects across the AdTech stack — web wrapper features, OpenRTB server enhancements, SSP integrations, A/B test rollouts, and privacy/consent work — owning them from technical design through deployment and post-launch validation
Act as a lead on initiatives spanning multiple teams: write technical design docs, drive review discussions, coordinate with Ad Operations and SRE, and keep stakeholders informed as the work progresses (especially when scope or timelines shift)
Contribute high-quality code that requires minimal correction in review across our JavaScript/TypeScript wrapper, our Rust s2s exchange, and the supporting tooling that surrounds them
Design, ship, and analyze A/B experiments — translating revenue, viewability, and Core Web Vitals signals into actionable conclusions
Build and maintain integrations with our SSP partners, diagnose integration issues end-to-end, and improve the efficiency of our supply paths
Respond to production incidents — diagnose header bidding, GAM/MCM, or wrapper behavior with appropriate urgency, and follow up with durable fixes
Effectively leverage modern AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and similar) to accelerate research, prototyping, code review, and debugging — and help the team raise its overall sophistication in their use
Provide meaningful, critical feedback in code reviews and mentor peers through pairing, design conversations, and PR review
Participate in sprint planning, scoping, and estimation, and contribute to team strategy beyond just the work in front of you
Stay current on the ad tech ecosystem — Prebid evolutions, GAM and MCM changes, privacy regulations, identity solutions, and AI-driven supply trends
4+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of leading projects end-to-end and shipping production systems that users depend on.
Strong proficiency in JavaScript and TypeScript, including comfort with the browser runtime, asynchronous patterns, and performance-sensitive client-side code.
Solid working knowledge of the request/response lifecycle of modern web applications.
Experience designing and running A/B experiments and understanding what the results actually mean.
Strong code review skills — you can give feedback that makes other engineers better, and you can take it without ego.
Excellent written and verbal communication. You proactively keep stakeholders informed and can explain technical tradeoffs in business terms.
Demonstrated ownership: you take initiative, you follow through, and you’re trustworthy.
Effective use of AI coding assistants as part of your day-to-day workflow — not as a replacement for understanding, but as a force multiplier.
100% remote
Comprehensive benefits including Medical, Dental, Vision, Disability, and Life Insurance
401(k) with company matching
Generous PTO
Wellness initiatives and employer-sponsored mental health resources
Professional development opportunities
Inclusive, collaborative, and entrepreneurial company culture
