At Quantcast, we revolutionize advertising technology with our AI-powered Demand Side Platform. We connect ambitious marketers with ideal audiences across the open internet, delivering measurable outcomes. Since 2006, we've trailblazed the first AI-powered measurement platform and DSP.

The Campaign Success team builds products advertisers open daily to track ad-driven outcomes like purchases and sign-ups. We're re-imagining this experience using agentic engineering and Quantcast's unique data. Hire for new grad or early-career engineer to ship customer-used features.

Paired with a senior engineer mentor through onboarding and beyond. Participate in engineering rituals like system design, code reviews, on-call, and operational habits. Cross-functional collaboration with Product Managers and Designers to decide what to build and why.
