  • Document and communicate methodologies clearly for cross-functional teams

Requirements

  • B.A./B.S. in Analytics, Economics, Mathematics, Engineering, or related field
  • 5+ years of experience in analytics, strategy, or operations; AdTech or programmatic exchange experience strongly preferred
  • Deep understanding of programmatic auctions, SSP/DSP mechanics, and mediation platforms
  • Hands-on experience with openRTB protocols, including interpreting bid requests/responses, auction dynamics, and understanding of post-auction and win-notification flows
  • Familiarity with VAST and MRAID, particularly related to oRTB spec
  • Proven ability to connect rigorous data analysis to business priorities and translate complex auction dynamics into actionable insights
  • Strong SQL skills and experience working with large-scale datasets (BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks)
  • Comfortable leveraging modern AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor) to enhance productivity, analysis, and decision-making
  • Familiarity with Python for data analysis, automation, and pipeline development is a plus
