The DMED Ad Platform integrates with thousands of advertisers, with over a billion
ads served per month. Before being served to a viewer, each one of these ads
goes through a sophisticated workflow involving sales and planning, targeting,
trafficking, and quality control, to deliver maximum value to our advertisers while
maintaining an engaging experience for viewers.
Operating at the intersection of entertainment and technology, we captivate and
connect viewers with the stories they love, and are looking for people who are
passionate about redefining advertising through collaboration, innovation,
unconventional thinking, stellar execution, committed to lifelong learning and
improving while still embracing fun. You’ll be joining a talented team that works
interdependently toward aggressive goals to deliver technically sound solutions. We
work to ensure that we share both accountability and credit as a team.
