What they look for

Engineering Postings ask for a degree in computer science or a related field and 3 to 5 years of experience. Backend roles ask for one of Go, Python, Java, Scala, or C++, and for work on high-traffic distributed systems. They include an on-call rotation. Python and SQL each appear in about half of all Postings.

Scientist Postings ask for applied machine learning in production, Python with PyTorch or TensorFlow, and A/B tests on live campaigns. Several prefer a Master's degree or a PhD. Experience in advertising technology or marketing technology is a plus in most teams.

Many Postings ask you to use AI tools every day. The roles for agents ask that you built an LLM (large language model) application and can explain how you measured its quality. The Product Manager role makes one working agent workflow a requirement.

English is the working language in most Postings. Roles tied to one market ask for its language also: Mandarin or Chinese in Taiwan and Hong Kong, Japanese in Tokyo, and Korean in Seoul. The two C++ roles in Tokyo accept fluent English or Chinese. Sales roles ask for experience in digital media sales and a local network of advertisers and agencies.
