In the Technical Ad Solutions team, we busy ourselves primarily with making sure our ads run smoothly and identifying and solving problems of all sorts and shapes. This can vary, for example, from catching human error in campaign setups to solving discrepancies and from improving header bidding integrations to optimize publisher revenue, to finding bugs in our ad serving logic. As an Ad Solutions Engineer, you will be part of an enthusiastic and highly skilled team and serve as one of the go-to ad tech experts for our colleagues in the EMEA and occasionally supporting other regions.
Note: GumGum currently operates in a ‘work from home’ virtual environment with sporadic opportunities for in-person business and morale events (health guidelines permitting). There will not be any requirement to go into the office on a daily basis moving forward.
