At Quantcast, we don't just build advertising technology, we revolutionize how it works. Our AI-powered Demand Side Platform (DSP) connects the world's most ambitious marketers with their ideal audiences across the open internet, delivering results that actually move the needle. Since 2006, we've been the industry's trailblazer, launching the first AI-powered measurement platform for publishers and the first AI-driven DSP. Our AI doesn't just optimize—it delivers the measurable outcomes that matter most to our clients, giving them the competitive edge they need in a crowded marketplace. Ready to join the team that's defining the future of digital advertising?
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Payments & Incentives team. The team acts as the financial engine of Quantcast, managing the intersection of complex ad-tech data and precise fintech requirements. The team is responsible for building frictionless payment solutions for our users, operating incentive programs to increase customer retention, and managing internal systems that power the billing pipelines. Operating across multiple functional areas, the team bridges engineering with customer experience, support, and essential back-office functions such as finance and revenue operations.
You will be at the forefront of innovating solutions that integrate efficient payment, billing, and reward programs directly into our high-scale next generation advertising platform, focusing on making digital advertising campaigns as simple as possible for our customers. Our infrastructure handles diverse use cases, from real-time fee breakdowns for campaign forecasting and bidding to unified billing workflows that synchronize across application databases, Snowflake and NetSuite. We are currently refactoring these mission-critical pipelines to consolidate billing logic, which will enhance invoice visibility and traceability for revenue operations. These mission-critical systems enable global brands to scale their business with us.

What You'll Do
- Drive engineering initiatives for unified financial reporting and process consolidation, ensuring systems are reliable, monitored, and successfully adopted.
