Description

What We Do The Identity team’s mission is to help advertisers reach audiences and measure campaign outcomes across omnichannel marketing strategies. We develop industry‑leading cross‑device graphs by leveraging identity signals from petabytes of data and applying these signals in real time across a trillion ad opportunities per day. We also develop and maintain Unified ID 2.0, a privacy‑conscious, secure, and accurate identity standard for the digital advertising ecosystem. Our Software Engineers are end‑to‑end owners who participate in designing, building, and delivering data‑focused products for our stakeholders.

You don’t need to know them all on day one — what matters is your ability to learn quickly, solve complex problems, and choose the right tools for the job. We’re not looking for people with all the answers — we’re looking for people who can invent answers that no one has thought of yet.
