DESCRIPTION

Come join an exciting and innovative engineering team! The Custom Ads Product and Tech (CAPT) team builds products that fuel World Wide Custom Ads growth and enable it to scale. We learn from advertising customers to bridge gaps in our existing ad-product portfolio, and partner with Advertisers to test new concepts with a view to developing the most valuable ones into scalable ad products. We empower the wider World Wide Custom Ads team by building products and features that reduce operational cost.

About the hiring group
The Custom Advertising team builds innovative advertising experiences that delight customers and advertisers worldwide. These range from using AR to showcase advertisers products, to leveling-up the car-buying experience with hyper-realistic vehicle configurators and even delivering a full sized T-Rex in an Amazon box with a little help from Alexa (try: Ask Jurassic World whats in the box?). Our business is growing rapidly, and weve only just begun to scratch the surface!

Job responsibilities
As a SDE on the CAPT team, you'll work with Product and Program Managers, Design Technologists and Creative Designers to use the build/test/learn methodology to enhance existing and create new ad products.
