- The Sponsored Content & Products team is a central driver of our growth.
- Our mission is to build highly scalable self-service marketplaces for Cost-per-Click (CPC) bidding.

- You adhere to our repository structures, coding standards, and CI/CD processes to ensure that backend updates are deployed safely and reliably into production.
- You monitor the system health, fix backend errors, and ensure that our endpoints for real-time ad serving and bidding remain fast and stable at all times.
- You seamlessly integrate modern AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Gemini into your daily work to generate boilerplate code faster, write tests, and solve problems efficiently.
